Do I Qualify

The National Institute of Health guidelines for weight loss surgery are as follows:

You must have a BMI of greater than 40 or have a BMI of 35 or greater with significant life-threatening illnesses.


 

If you feel you qualify and want to apply for surgery, print off the application forms for our program. Once we get your registration information, we will screen your health information to make sure that you meet NIH criteria. Don’t forget to include a copy of the front and back of your insurance card(s) and your Insurance Review Form.


 

Once we have reviewed your paperwork, we will contact you to set up your initial appointments.
