Do I Qualify?

To be a candidate for weight-loss surgery, you must:

Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or greater or be 100 or more pounds overweight from your ideal body weight. A BMI calculator is available at our website.
If BMI is between 35 and 40, you must have at least one significant medical condition such as diabetes, hypertension or sleep apnea.
Be between the ages of 18 and 65.
Not be drug or alcohol dependent or have at least one year of sobriety.
Have a personal ongoing commitment to improve health and lifestyle.
Contact your insurance company to verify if your insurance policy covers bariatric surgery. If your policy does not cover bariatric surgery, ask us about self-pay options.
