Weight loss surgery is considered safe, but like many types of surgery, it does have risks. Consult with your physician about the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery. These testimonials reflect results achieved by these patients. As each case must be independently evaluated and managed, actual weight loss will vary. ASMBS recognizes obesity at BMI of 30 and possible surgery candidate but would need to be private pay in this case. MCR/MCD and commercial insurance only pay for eligible candidates at BMI 35 and above.
