Yes, BMI 40.7: Your bmi is 40.7. This is an appropriate weight to consider weight loss surgery. The long term success of simple diet therapy is very low for patients with bmi over 40 (about 1-2%). With surgery, about 90% will achieve a long term weight loss of at least 50% of your excess weight. You can check bmi at this site: http://nhlbisupport.Com/bmi/bminojs.Htm.

Just make it: Given that weight and height your BMI is 40/7, so you would qualify for such, especially if you have weight related medical conditions.
