Surgical Treatment for Obesity
Surgical Treatment
Weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) is the only option today that effectively treats morbid obesity in people for whom more conservative measures such as diet, exercise and medication have failed. Potential candidates include:
- People with a BMI greater than 40
- Men who are 100 pounds over their ideal body weight or women who are 80 pounds over their ideal body weight
- Persons with a BMI between 35 and 40 who have another condition such as obesity-related Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea or heart disease
The Stanford Center for Bariatric Surgery performs several types of bariatric surgery.
