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:

  1. Select your gender.
  2. Move the red height slider handle.
  3. Move the red weight slider handle.
