Am I Eligible?

To qualify for Bariatric Surgery, Medicare and insurance companies expect you to be 'Morbidly Obese'. That means a BMI >35 with a weight related health problem or a BMI >40 with or without a health issue.

Calculate your BMI, if >35 it would be worth making an appointment to see if surgery is right for you.
