Did you know?
Studies show that bariatric surgery patients experience an average weight loss of 80-100 lbs. More than 40% of American adults are obese. Bariatric surgery can help to improve Type 2 diabetes by 85-95%.
Know your BMI
An interplay of diet, family history and amount of physical activity are all risk factors for obesity and weight gain. Your body mass index (BMI) can help determine into which weight category you fall.
BMI is a numerical measure of a person's body weight in relation to their height. It is calculated by dividing an individual's weight in pounds (or kilograms) by the square of their height in feet (or meters). This determines whether a person falls into the underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese categories.
Your BMI and weight are simple indicators of potential health risks associated with being underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.
You may be a great candidate for metabolic weight loss or bariatric surgery if:
- You have a BMI of 40 or more
- Are more than 100 pounds overweight
- Have tried and failed to lose weight
- You suffer from obesity-related health problems
