Obesity is measured by body mass index (or BMI)
Weight loss surgery could be appropriate for people with a body mass index of over 40. Weight loss surgery could also be an option for those with a body mass index of over 35 if they have co-morbidity related to the obesity such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure etc.
In general, obesity surgery is not recommended for people under 18 or over 60 years.
