Is Medical Weight Loss For Me?
You may benefit from medical weight loss if you’re affected by obesity—a medical term that means you have excess body fat. Health experts use Body Mass Index, or BMI, to see if you have obesity. Calculate your BMI online using these calculators.
Medical weight loss may be right for you if you:
- Are at least 16 years old and have a BMI of 30 or above
- Have tried to lose weight on your own without lasting success
- Are ready to make changes to meet your health goals
