If you are experiencing health complications or severe discomfort from excess weight, you may be a candidate for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. To learn about all the options that may be available to you, begin by determining which of the following statements apply to you:
- I have tried to lose and keep off excess weight and have consistently failed.
- I have obesity-related risk factors, such as sleep apnea, breathing difficulties, diabetes, heart problems, or back and knee pain.
- My Body Mass Index (BMI) is 40 or higher.
- I am 100 or more pounds over my ideal body weight.
- I have realistic expectations concerning how weight-loss will affect my life.
- I have supportive friends and family in my life.
- I am committed to living a healthy lifestyle.
- I understand and fully accept the risks of surgery.
If any of these statements apply to you, we invite you to attend a free informational seminar to learn more about the dietary treatment techniques and surgical procedures available through the SSM Weight-Loss Institute.
