Your Body
Mass Index (BMI)
is an important
factor in
determining
whether or not
you are suitable for
weight loss surgery.
If you don’t know yours, you can calculate it here.
Michelle’s story
I was an obese child, adolescent and adult. But in August 2004, I underwent weight loss surgery – and went on to lose over 14 stone. Having lived the ‘journey', I set up the Weight Loss Surgery Group, which is dedicated to providing the aftercare that is crucial to weight loss success.
Note: We do not charge any additional supplements for patients with a BMI over 50
