To qualify for bariatric surgery, you must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40, or, have a BMI over 35 and also be experiencing other health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes and/or sleep apnea. If you meet these requirements and decide to proceed with your surgery, you will be scheduled for a comprehensive physical exam; be evaluated by a cardiologist, pulmonologist and nutritionist; and, join one of our weight loss support groups. All of these appointments can be conveniently scheduled all in one day, all in one place.
