How do I know if I qualify for weight loss surgery?

To be eligible, you must have a BMI of 40 or greater without comorbidities, or a BMI between 35 and 40 with at least two co-existing comorbidities related to obesity. In addition, you must show that you have seriously tried to lose weight in the past; have no physical, mental or other problems that would make surgery unnecessarily risky; and be able to participate in your treatment and lifetime follow-up care.
