Is Surgery Right For Me?
Weight loss surgery is usually considered as the best treatment option in the following situations:

- Your BMI is between 30-34.9 with at least one or more obesity-associated comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol level, heartburn, osteoarthritis, breathing problems (ie. obstructive sleep apnoea), etc...
- Failure to respond to non-surgical weight loss treatments such as diet, medication and exercises
