A body mass index or (BMI) is used to calculate whether you would be a candidate for bariatric surgery. This calculation based on two factors, your weight and height. An individual that has a BMI of 20-25  is considered normal. A BMI calculation of 25-30 is indicating that the individual is overweight and 30-40 means that he/she is obese. Individuals with a BMI over 40 are considered morbidly obese. An individual with a BMI of 35 or greater may qualify as a candidate for surgical treatment.
