You may be a candidate for surgical weight loss if you:

• Are at least 18 years of age
• Have a BMI of 40 kg/m2 or greater, or a BMI 35 to 39 kg/m2 and obesity-related conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or sleep apnea
• Have been unable to achieve a healthy body weight for a sustained period of time, despite numerous attempts at weight loss
