What are requirements for weight surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss !!!!!!: As a simple guide! if your BMI is more than 40 and you have failed to loose weight despite appropriate diet and exercise, you are a candidate, also if BMI is 35 with obesity related co morbidities that makes one a candidate as well. A consultation with bariatric medical or surgical specialist will be more helpful! Many hospitals have free consultation for weight loss surgery evaluation.
