This program offers a very rough estimate of how your weight might change
after weight loss surgery. You can control it by indicating what percentage
of excess weight you plan on losing. NOTE: This
is only an educational tool. No one can predict how their weight will
actually change.
BMI
= Body Mass Index
Being
overweight is obviously a product of both how much you weigh plus
how tall you are. Using these two things, researchers have put
together a formula for standardizing the extent of overweight.
Typical BMI may be from 25 to 30. Individuals with a BMI over
40 may qualify for bariatric surgery.
