Use the BMI calculator to determine your BMI. If your BMI is 33 or above you may be a candidate for bariatric surgery. It's best to determine your suitability for weight loss surgery in conjunction with our trained staff. For patients using a self pay option, requirements are not as stringent and you may be a candidate if your BMI is above 33. For those planning to utilize insurance benefits for their bariatric surgery, it's best to know your plan's requirements. My staff can assist you in coordinating your bariatric benefits. Please call Dr. Shillingford's office at to determine if you are a candidate.
