Am I a Candidate for Weight Loss (Bariatric) Surgery?

Several factors determine whether surgical or non-surgical treatment is appropriate for you. We help you understand what options are available based on your medical history, lifestyle, habits and mental health. The important thing to remember is you are not alone. We’re with you every step of the way.

You may qualify for weight loss surgery if:

• You have severe obesity – Typically, if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 40 or higher, or 35+ with obesity-related health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea.
• Other weight loss methods haven’t worked – If diet, exercise and medications haven’t helped you lose significant weight or keep it off.
• Obesity is affecting your health – If your weight is causing or worsening serious health issues, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes or joint pain.
• Your doctor recommends it – If your healthcare provider suggests weight loss surgery as a safe and effective option for improving your health.
• You are mentally prepared for lifestyle changes – Bariatric surgery requires long-term commitment to new eating habits, exercise and follow-up care.
