Considering Obesity Surgery in Brazil? Question 1

How much weight do you need to lose?
First you need to ask yourself how much weight you need to lose. You must have enough excess body weight to qualify for obesity surgery. Weight loss of 65 to 80% of excess body weight (the amount by which actual body weight exceeds ideal body weight) is a typical result of Gastric Bypass Surgery (GBS). You need to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI). Use BMI tables to see where you are now and where you like to be. How to calculate your BMI and BMI tables can be found at the Affordable Obesity Surgery in Brazil website. Obesity surgery can be considered if your BMI is 35 or above.
