You will need to meet specific criteria to ensure that you medically qualify for surgery. Only you and your surgeon can evaluate your situation and decide if surgery is right for you.

Bariatric Surgery may be right for you if:

If you are an asian with a body mass index (BMI) > 37.5 or a BMI > 32.5 along with one or more obesity-related conditions, such as type II diabetes  or high blood pressure.
 You are 18 years of age or older.
 You have one or more obesity-related conditions (known as comorbid conditions), such as type II diabetes or high blood pressure.
 You’ve been unable to lose weight and keep it off through traditional methods like diet and exercise.
 If you are ready to commit to a healthy, active lifestyle.
 You don’t have medical conditions that could cause serious complications during or after surgery.
 You understand the surgery benefits, risks, and complications, and you have a full understanding of what to expect.
