Is Weight Loss Surgery Right for You?

Home > Your Health > Is Weight Loss Surgery Right for You?

Weight loss surgery is a serious procedure. You must meet several criteria to be a candidate for surgery. We follow guidelines established by the National Institutes of Health:

100 pounds overweight with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 (calculate your BMI)
A BMI of 35 with obesity-related health conditions may also be eligible
Documentation that traditional weight loss methods have been tried
No current drug or alcohol abuse issues, or psychiatric illness that would impair judgment.
An understanding of the benefits and risks of surgery and a commitment to making post-surgical lifestyle changes.

If you have questions about your eligibility, contact our Weight Loss Program Coordinator, Kelly Miller. Or sign up for one of our free Weight Loss Surgery Seminars.
