Is Bariatric Surgery Right for You?
What's Your BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Obesity is measured by an individual's Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is a simple calculation based on a person's height and weight. A "normal" BMI falls between 22 and 25. A person with a BMI above 30 is considered obese, while a rating above 40 indicates morbid obesity.
Calculate Your BMI
Bariatric surgery is most appropriate for people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more, and who also might have serious health complications related to obesity.
To determine your BMI, use the calculator below:
- Select your gender.
- Move the red height slider handle.
- Move the red weight slider handle.
- Results are displayed automatically.
Please keep in mind that this is not an official medical test, and these are approximate numbers. Do not base any final decisions on this calculation.
