Do you qualify for bariatric surgery? Find out your BMI.
Body mass index (BMI) is a calculation using height and weight to assess severity of obesity. Those with a BMI of 40 or more are considered to have morbid obesity, which may make them a candidate for bariatric surgery. If you have a BMI of 35 to 40 and have serious, obesity-related health problems, you also may be a candidate for this surgery.
