Who is a candiate for WLS
I have seen a few post on here about how to get WLS. I found this information on my Surgeon website so I decided to share.
Who is a Ideal Candiate.
You between the ages of 18 and 60, and are
and are 100 pounds or 100% over your ideal
weight, or have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of
40 or greater.
Or if:
Your BMI is between 35 and 40 and you have
one or more of the following obesity related
conditions:
? Diabetes
? High Blood Pressure (hypertension)
? Heart Problems (cardiovascular disease)
? Sleep Apnea
And you have tried and failed multiple
weight loss attempts through diets,
exercise, behavior modification or
weight loss drugs.
While many health insurance companies
recognize the benefits of surgical
weight loss programs and provide
coverage, some do not.
Hope this helps everyone.
Have a blessed day and God Bless You All!
