Is bariatric surgery right for you?

Deciding whether bariatric surgery is right for you begins with understanding your options, your health history, and your long-term goals. For many patients who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, surgery can be a safe and effective path toward lasting results.

Who is a candidate?

Most patients qualify with a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher alongside an obesity-related condition such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. A consultation is the best way to confirm your eligibility.
