Getting Started with a Bariatric Program
The first step is to determine if you are a candidate for weight loss surgery. The National Institute of Health has set forth guidelines to determine who is an appropriate candidate for bariatric surgery. If you have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 35 or greater you qualify with your insurance to get bariatric surgery. Your insurance company and your surgeon will abide by these guidelines that the NIH have for weight loss surgery.

How Much Will I lose? Will weight Loss be quick
The amount of weight you lose and how fast you lose it depends on which weight loss surgery you have. Patients who have adjustable gastric banding (Lap-Band) procedures usually lose weight more slowly the first year than those who have gastric bypass (RYGB) or duodenal switch procedures (DS), but total weight loss is comparable with each procedure. The average patient loses between 68 to 78 percent of his or her excess body weight after the first year.
