Do you qualify?

Most patients qualify more easily than they expect. Here's the quick picture.

If this is your first weight-loss surgery

You typically qualify with a BMI of 35 or higher, or a BMI of 30 or higher alongside a related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.

If you've had bariatric surgery before

We revise all types of bariatric procedures — sleeve, bypass, band, and more. Whether a revision is right for you depends on your history and your insurance coverage, which we'll review together.

Not sure you qualify? That's exactly what the consultation is for.
Book it and we'll tell you where you stand — no guesswork.

Final eligibility is confirmed during your consultation and depends on your individual health history and insurance plan.
