Do I Qualify?

To answer this question, you must be evaluated by an experienced bariatric surgeon. Be aware that the surgery is a tool to help you lose weight and become healthy. However, you may be a potential candidate if you meet the following conditions:

1. If you weigh more than 100 lbs. (50Kg.) over you ideal body weight.
2. Body Mass Index (B.M.I) of over 40.
3. Have a B.M.I of over 35 and are experiencing severe negative health effects, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea or joint damage.
4. If you are unable to achieve a healthy body weight for sustained period of time, even though medically supervised dieting.
