Criteria for Surgery

Does your patient meet the criteria for weight loss surgery?

We have an assessment list to help you determine if an individual is a good candidate for referral. Or you can use the survey tool here.

Is your patient....

  • 100 or more pounds overweight?
  • Body mass index greater than or equal to 40?
  • 75 pounds overweight with a body mass index of 35-39.9?
  • Obesity-related health problems?
  • Tried unsuccessfully to lose weight through a well-balanced diet and exercise?
  • Age 18-65 years old?
  • Strong willingness to lead a life-long weight loss effort by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including diet and regular exercise?

If you answer yes to one or more of these criteria, please consider referring your patient to our program.
