Do I Qualify for Bariatric Surgery?
Overweight is defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher and extreme Obesity is a BMI of 40 or greater. Extreme obesity is often referred to as Morbid Obesity due to associated health risks. Most insurance companies will require documentation of a co-morbid condition for a BMI of 30 – 34.9 to qualify for bariatric surgery. Patients with a BMI over 35 are not required to have a comorbid condition.
Comorbid conditions include, but not limited to:
- Type II diabetes
- Hypertension
- Sleep apnea

Treating Obesity as a Chronic Disease
Obesity is no longer considered a cosmetic issue that is caused by overeating and a lack of self-control. The World Health Organization along with National and International medical and scientific societies, now recognize obesity as a chronic progressive disease resulting from multiple environmental and genetic factors. The disease of obesity is characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat. The Body Mass Index is one measure used to define overweight and obesity and considered a more accurate estimate of body fatness.
BMI Index
| Very severely underweight | 15 |
| Severely underweight | 15 – 16 |
| Underweight | 16 – 18.5 |
| Normal (healthy weight) | 18.5 – 25 |
| Overweight | 25 – 30 |
| Obese Class I (moderately obese) | 30 – 35 |
| Obese Class II (severely obese) | 35 – 39.9 |
| Obese Class III (very severely obese) | 40 |
