If you have been struggling with failed attempts at weight loss for years and have obesity related health problems, you may be considering weight loss surgery. There are many health benefits to laparoscopic weight loss surgery. Conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma and weight bearing arthritis can be prevented, reduced, and in many cases, eliminated after weight loss surgery.

There are certain factors that determine whether a patient is a good candidate for weight loss surgery. Part of the determination is based on the Body Mass Index (BMI). Good candidates for weight loss procedures have a BMI of over 40, or over 35, if the patient also has serious health problems related to obesity, including heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and severe sleep apnea.

Other important criteria include an understanding of the dietary guidelines required after weight loss surgery and the absence of addictions or psychological problems that would sabotage the results of weight loss surgery. During your consultation, you will learn important information about the specific dietary restrictions and changes needed based on the procedure.
