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 have lost a total of 160 pounds and I feel better than ever. I have started living again."

- Barbara M.

"I am currently 29-years-old and weigh 130 pounds. Before surgery I weighed almost 240 pounds. This is the best thing I have done with my life and would do it again today if need be. It changed my life drastically. I thank God everyday for my new chance in life and the doctors He sent me to."
