Calculate your adult BMI
Use your height and weight to estimate BMI before discussing treatment with JourneyLite. The result does not establish surgical eligibility or insurance coverage.
When may bariatric surgery be considered?
Current ASMBS/IFSO guidance recommends surgery at BMI 35 or higher and consideration at BMI 30–34.9 with metabolic disease or insufficient benefit from nonsurgical treatment. BMI is one part of a surgeon’s assessment of your health, treatment history, risks, and ability to follow the long-term care plan. See the ASMBS patient guide.
Coverage and self-pay options
Clinical candidacy and insurance approval are separate decisions. Your plan may use different BMI criteria, require documented treatment or authorization, or exclude bariatric surgery. The JourneyLite team can help you check your benefits and review self-pay pricing and financing.
Compare treatment options
Learn about gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and other surgical options. If you are considering a gastric balloon, candidacy depends on the particular device and your medical and surgical history.
