Are You A Candidate?

Are you a candidate?

Last year more than 200,000 people opted for bariatric weight-loss procedures to take control of their health. See criteria below.

Bariatric weight-loss procedures are considered lifesaving for people who are unable to lose weight in other ways and are at risk of weight-related medical conditions. Bariatric surgery can have a profoundly positive impact on people’s physical and emotional health and add years to their life. Like all types of invasive medicine, however, bariatric surgery comes with risks and is not for everyone.

In determining who is eligible, at Bay Bariatrics we use the general guidelines of the National Institutes of Health in combination with our extensive experience and firsthand knowledge of who is best suited for bariatric surgery. Please note that insurance companies have their own criteria for bariatric surgery. Even if we determine that you are eligible, you may not qualify through your insurance provider. Our life-changing procedures are priced to be affordable with or without insurance coverage.
