Written by: rwilde - Thursday, June 16, 2011, 10:23 AM

Want to find out what your BMI is? Find your weight on the top and your height on the side of the chart below. Where those two lines intersect, that is your Body Mass Index (BMI). If your BMI is over 30, and you would like to continue learning about the benefits of Weight Loss Surgery, Click on "Come to a Free Information Class" on our home page.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

What does BMI mean? BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a tool that helps you measure the amount of body fat you have based on your height and weight. Your BMI is used by doctors offices and insurance companies to assess the risk of patients at risk of developing co-morbidities, or diseases related to obesity, e.g., diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea to name a few.
