Weight Loss Surgery Requirements, Bariatric Surgery Requirements

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).

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!
