BMI Calculator





What does your BMI mean?

BMI 18-24
= Normal Weight
BMI 25-29
= Overweight
BMI 30-34
= Moderate Obesity
BMI 35-39
= Severe Obesity
BMI > 40
= Morbid Obesity

BMI, or body mass index, is a system of measurement that helps a patient figure out how overweight he or she is. A BMI of 20 to 25 is considered normal. 25 to 30 is considered overweight. 30.1 to 34.9 is considered obese. You are a candidate for weight loss surgery if your BMI is 40 or greater or if you have a BMI between 35 and 39.9 along with a serious health problem. The U.S. FDA has recently approved the LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System for use in patients who have a BMI of 30 or more and at least one serious health problem (comorbidity) related to obesity.

"I thought I was a pretty happy fat person. Hiding behind my jokes and laughter, I did not know how much my weight controlled my life. I never knew what true happiness was until I had my surgery. Some people don't like to tell people when they have had weight loss surgery but I tell everyone because I feel everyone deserves to be this happy!"

Vicki’s Weight Loss Story – Ready to Ride the Rollercoaster Again

By admin on February 15, 2012 at 11:12 am

Just a few months ago, Vicki wanted to make a big change in her life – one that would help her live a healthier lifestyle and be able to do things that she couldn’t do because of her weight. Not long ago, Vicki couldn’t ride on a rollercoaster, or ride down a snowtube because she could not fit inside them. But after weight loss surgery from the Live Life Again Center, plus a diligent commitment to a new diet and significant lifestyle changes – well, take a look for yourself!

Vicki can ride the rollercoaster again, tube down the mountain, and take confidence in the fact that she has made so much progress in reducing health risks and slimming down her physique. We are so proud of Vicki and we look forward to seeing the continuation of this amazing transformation!

Contact Dr. David D. Kim for more information, or to schedule a consultation.
