Qualifications for Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery
At our clinic, we use Body Mass Index (BMI) to help assess if bariatric surgery is the right option for you. If you have a BMI of 27 or greater or need to lose at least 50 pounds, you qualify for bariatric surgery. We believe everyone deserves the chance to achieve a healthy weight and live a fulfilling life, and weight loss surgery can offer that opportunity.
You’re eligible for weight loss surgery.
If you have one or more obesity-related conditions(comorbidities), you’re a great candidate.
At 40 or greater you qualify for surgery on this basis alone.
Let us help you find the path that’s right for you.
Are you a weight loss surgery candidate?
While it's true that weight loss surgery can improve and allow for a better quality of life, it's important for a professional like the surgeons at Inspire Bariatrics to assess whether or not you'd truly benefit from undergoing any weight loss surgical procedure.
Most forms of weight loss surgery require a minimum BMI (Body Mass Index) number. BMI allows healthcare professionals and patients to assess individual health issues associated with your specific weight classification (such as obesity or morbid obesity).

He is passionate about helping people!
I highly recommend Dr. Peery. Not only is he highly skilled, he also has a friendly demeanor and takes time with his patients. He explained the procedure well and answered all of my questions. He is passionate about helping people and being his patient was an overall positive experience.
The operation was so successful and my life is amazing!
I struggled with weight and weight loss my whole life and wanted to make a change in my life and my health. I am a mom and I could not bend down to play with my kids anymore and was sad. I wanted to find a female surgeon who was kind, and that I felt comfortable working with. Dr McCalman explained everything about weight loss surgery and I had a robotic sleeve done and lost over 130 pounds. I can bend down and play with my kids I can and I have never felt better or had more energy in my life. Thank you!
