Calculate Your BMI Today
“BMI” stands for Body Mass Index, a measurement that evaluates the level of body fat in an individual. It is determined simply by using a person’s height and weight. BMI is often used to screen individuals for weight categories that can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease or diabetes.
Over 100 million adult Americans are overweight or obese. Being overweight or obese increases a person’s chances for developing serious health problems, including:
- Heart Disease
- Stroke and Respiratory Issues
- Diabetes
- Cancer
Your BMI is one straightforward number. Using the sliding height and weight indicators on our new calculator you can set your current height and weight to determine your BMI and find out if you may be a candidate for laparoscopic gastric bypass, lap band or laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery for weight loss.
Any one of the experienced surgeons will take the time to get to know you one-on-one and recommend the most appropriate and effective surgical weight loss solution for you.

“Barix is the best at what they do. Everyone is friendly and does their best to make you comfortable. I really do feel like Barix gave me back the life I really didn’t know I was missing. I had gastric bypass surgery and my life has changed 100%. In a mere two months, I was able to stop blood pressure meds. My asthma is practically gone. My sleep apnea has improved and my life is full! I ‘fit’ in the world now.” — Monica A. | |
