Who is a Candidate?

Our surgeons will evaluate your overall general health to determine if bariatric surgery is appropriate for you.

General requirements consist of:

• Over 18 years of age
• BMI of 40 or higher
• BMI between 35 and 39.9 and you have a serious weight-related health problem, such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or heart disease
• Ability to comply with post-operative diet/vitamin supplementation and exercise recommendations, as well as following the post-operative follow-up visit schedule

If you are not an ideal candidate for bariatric surgery, you may want to consider our non-surgical medical weight loss program.
