Get StartedAm I Candidate for Weight Loss (Bariatric) Surgery?
You may be a good candidate for bariatric surgery if you :
- Have a BMI of ≥30 (ASMBS BMI calculator)*
- Are 55 pounds or more overweight
- Want a long-term weight loss solution
- Have been unsuccessful with previous attempts to lose weight
*The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) recognizes a patient with a BMI over 30 with comorbidities as a good candidate for bariatric surgery. However, insurance providers consider a patient with a BMI over 35 with comorbidities to be good candidate for bariatric surgery. In the case that insurance won't cover the procedure, we do have self-pay options for patients concerned enough about their health to proceed with surgery outside of insurance.
If you don’t meet these criteria, check out our non-surgical weight loss procedures or medical weight loss options.
