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!"

Gastric Bypass Weight Loss Surgery Patient Testimonial Ft Worth Texas

KELLY: My name is Kelly, and my primary care physician–I was having trouble with blood pressure, I was on blood pressure medication for a while, and he suggested I have the surgery, and he himself recommended Dr. Kim’s office, and so that’s why I came here; as a referral.
The first thing I did, I went to one of the seminars, the informational seminar. It was on a Wednesday evening, and met Pam, and I met Dr. Kim, and everybody was very friendly and welcoming. I was impressed with the organization, everything was well laid out to make the steps pretty simple and straightforward, and they gave an informational packet, and I just followed the steps, and got where I am today.
The biggest change since I had my gastric bypass surgery was just the energy level that I have. I have much more energy, I can exercise and not–and just feel I could get a good workout. I get to go to my doctor and I don’t have to take my blood pressure medicine anymore, and he’s impressed with the clean bill of health and how much healthier and how much better I’m doing.
It’s also fun to go shopping for clothes now. I don’t have to just buy what fits, I can buy the clothes that I like, and so it’s just–it’s fun to shop. I recommend all my friends to come if they’re interested in the surgery; to come see Dr. Kim.
