Am I Eligible?

Am I Eligible for Bariatric Surgery?

Eligibility isn’t just about numbers — it’s about readiness for transformation.

Not sure if bariatric surgery is right for you? Use this quick checklist to see if you may qualify:

  • My BMI is 40 or higher
  • My BMI is 35 or higher and I also have a health condition (like diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or joint pain)
  • I’ve tried diets, and exercise, but haven’t had lasting success
  • I’m ready to make lifelong lifestyle changes and follow-up with my care team

What is BMI?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It’s a simple formula using your height and weight to estimate body fat. While it doesn’t tell the whole story, it’s one of the tools doctors use to see if bariatric surgery may be right for you.

If you checked several of these boxes, you may be a good candidate for bariatric surgery.
