Do You Need Weight Loss Surgery? | Northern Virginia

There are many factors to consider when contemplating weight loss surgery.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Among the most popular weight loss surgery options is gastric bypass surgery.

This is a great option for patients with a BMI of 40 or more for whom diet and exercise have not been successful on its own.

Additionally, this is a great option if you have a BMI of 35 or more plus a secondary weight related condition such as type 2 diabetes.

They will typically look at your nutrition and weight history, current medical and physiological state, age and delve in to your general motivation level for weight loss.
