Is Weight Loss Surgery Right For Me?
To determine whether weight loss surgery is right for you, review the following:
- You must be 18 years of age or older
- You must have a BMI greater than or equal to 35 with two health conditions (such as diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, etc.) OR have a BMI of 40 or greater OR weigh 100 pounds over your ideal body weight
- You must have tried to lose weight through exercise/behavior modification, use of diet pills, or with physician supervision
- You must be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle as well as to keep regularly scheduled follow-up visits for life
Finally, a comprehensive assessment is needed, including review of your medical history and a physical assessment by one of the CSG Bariatric providers.
