Dallas Weight Loss Surgery... Are you a Candidate?

If you've decided it's time for change and are willing to alter your lifestyle, weight loss surgery could be the solution. Many bariatric surgery options are available, but not everyone is a candidate. As with any medical procedure it is important to get the facts before making a decision. If you answer yes to all of these questions, you may be a candidate for weight loss surgery:

• Are you between 18 and 60 years old?
• Do you have a BMI of 40 or greater?
• Do you have a BMI of 35 or over with other medical conditions present?
• Is your obesity non-endocrine related?
• Are you willing to make permanent lifestyle changes?
• Do you accept responsibility for long-term follow-up?

If you answered no to any of these, bariatric surgery might not be for you, but if you answered yes to all or most, the next step is learning more. What may be a good option for one could be inappropriate for another. The risk factors and success rates of each weight loss surgery are different.
