Surgery
Tony M., 48 years-old.
Am I a Candidate for Surgery?
If you answer YES to any of the following questions, you may be a potential candidate for surgery.
- Are you more than 90 lbs over your ideal body weight?
-
Do you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 40?
(Use this BMI calculator tool to find out) -
Do you have a BMI of over 35 and experiencing two or
more severe negative health effects such as:
- High blood pressure,
- GERD (Acid reflux or heartburn),
- Diabetes,
- Joint problems related to weight,
- Sleep apnea?
- Have you been able to achieve a healthy body weight for a sustained period, even through medically supervised dieting?
If you answered YES to one or more questions above, take the next step by attending an informational seminar to see if Weight Loss Surgery is right for you.
Alternatively, we also offer webinars for those patients who cannot attend an informational seminar. Attending an informational seminar is mandatory before being able to make an appointment to see Dr. Fernández. From the comfort of your home, you can attend a webinar, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once you complete the webinar, our office will receive a completion notification and will contact you for an appointment.
