There are many variables --- age, co-morbidities, insurance considerations
There are recent studies indicating that the band can/should be used on patients with a BMI as low as 30
Most insurance companies will not pay for surgery unless your BMI is 35 with 2 or more co-morbidities, or BMI of 45 with no co-morbidities
