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.
"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!"

Weight Loss Surgery Financing Dallas Ft Worth Texas Dr. David Kim

MS. MELISSA BERNARD: A lot of people are worried how they’re going to pay for their surgery, and I’m here to let you know that there are insurance companies out there that will pay for it. There are a lot of requirements for it, but we know what the requirements are, and we’re here to help you through every step of the process of going through the insurance company.
MS. KATHY POWELL: We also have many financing options available for folks whose insurance doesn’t cover it or who want to pay cash and avoid going through the insurance process.
We can help you with financing. We have several options available. I’ll help you get through the process of applying for those, and many of them have very reasonable finance rates, where if you can finance your surgery for 60 months your payment is going to be 2 to $300 a month and that’s, you know, comparable to a car payment really. In fact it’s cheaper than the average car payment.
The number one thing that patients say to me when they are asking about bariatric surgery is that they want to get their health back. You can’t really put a price on your health, it’s just priceless to you.
