Bariatric Surgery Candidacy Overview

The body mass index (BMI) is a universal formula used to determine if an individual is a candidate for bariatric surgery. Although other factors are involved — such as high blood pressure and heart disease — the BMI is a useful way to decide whether bariatric surgery is appropriate. Bariatric surgery is never performed simply for cosmetic reasons, and it requires substantial commitment on the part of the patient in order to achieve successful results. The staff at our bariatric surgery center in Birmingham, Alabama will gladly schedule an appointment for you to attend one of our informative weight-loss surgery seminars. You may then meet with Dr. Dewitt for a private consultation to fully discuss your surgical candidacy and treatment options.

"At the age of 31, I was at the point where I could hardly walk, sit, or stand for any
length of time. I was totally miserable with
grief and pain. Before surgery I suffered from high cholesterol, high blood pressure, severe sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, edema, and arthritis. Today, I do not suffer from these medical conditions that were directly related
to me being overweight."
