Your current health

• Are you 18 or older?
• Are you more than 100 pounds over your ideal body weight?
• Do you have a body mass index (BMI) more than 40? or do you have a BMI more than 35 and experience severe weight-related side effects such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or sleep apnea?
• Have you tried other medical and nutritional weight loss programs without long-term success?
• Are you unable to sustain a healthy weight, even with medically supervised attempts at weight loss?

Find out now if you’re a candidate based on your current health.

Lifestyle changes and support

• Do you understand weight loss surgery and its possible risks?
• Will you refrain from tobacco, illicit drugs and alcohol?
• Will you maintain dietary requirements and medication regimes?
• Do you have a strong support system of family and friends to help you achieve long-term success?
