Your BMI is your Body Mass Index, which is a formula that is used to calculate your level of body fat. BMI scores are based upon your height to weight ratio, and is a useful tool in analyzing weight level categories. Our BMI calculator can help us to determine if bariatric surgery is best for you.
A healthy BMI score is regarded as one that falls between 18.5 and 24.9. A BMI that falls below 18.5 is considered underweight, while a BMI that falls above a 24.9 is considered overweight. A BMI that falls above 30 is considered obese.
Note: Bariatric or weight loss surgery requires BMI measurement. Other surgeries such as Gallbladder Surgery and Hiatal Hernia Repair do not have a strict BMI requirement.
