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 minimally invasive surgery or medical weight loss options.
