Bariatric Self Assessment

Determining your Body Mass Index, or BMI, can help you understand your level of obesity and weight loss options. The CDC defines weight according to this BMI scale:

• Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
• Normal weight: BMI between 18.5 and 25
• Overweight: BMI between 25 and 30
• Morbidly Obese: BMI of 40 or more. Patients with a BMI of 35 or higher are also considered morbidly obese if also experiencing obesity-related health conditions.
