Frequently Asked Questions

Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals who:

• Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 32.5 or higher with weight-related health conditions (such as Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Joint Pain, or Sleep Apnea).
• Have a BMI of 37.5 or higher, even without metabolic comorbidities.
• Have struggled to achieve sustained weight loss through traditional diet and exercise programs alone.

Note: A complete pre-operative clinical evaluation by our surgical team determines the best procedure tailored to your health profile.

Beyond substantial weight reduction, metabolic surgery effectively resolves or significantly improves several chronic conditions, including:

• Type 2 Diabetes (often leading to remission or reduced medication dependence)
• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) & High Cholesterol
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea & Breathing Issues
• Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
• Joint Pain & Osteoarthritis
