                      Am I a Candidate?


                      If you're struggling with severe obesity, and repeated dieting and exercise just haven't worked, a bariatric (weight loss) procedure may be the solution for you. In fact, when combined with a personalized treatment plan, weight loss surgery is the only effective option to combat severe obesity and maintain long-term weight loss, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

                      Weight loss is a journey and we're here to help you every step of the way. Many of our patients experience more than just long-term weight reduction - they experience notable improvement in their health. Through methods including dietary counseling, behavior modification, exercise, support groups and bariatric surgery, we do more than help reduce weight. We change lives.

                      You may be a candidate for a weight loss procedure if you are:

                      • Between the ages of 18 and 65 (If you're younger or older, your case may be considered)
                      • Someone with a BMI 30 – 35 on a case by case basis
                      • Someone with a BMI > or equal to 35 with major obesity related co-morbidity(s)
                      • Someone with a BMI > or equal to 40
                      • No more than 100 lbs over ideal body weight
                      • Struggling with an obesity-related condition like hypertension, heart disease or sleep apnea
                      • Currently trying or have tried to lose weight through other means such as diet, exercise and behavioral changes with only short term success
                      • Psychologically ready for weight loss surgery and willing to commit to a whole new lifestyle
                      • Not drug or alcohol dependent or have at least one year of sobriety

                      Find out if weight loss surgery is right for you.
