The site includes a BMI Calculator, which can help you determine if you are a candidate for bariatric surgery in New Mexico. In general, candidates for weight loss surgery need to have a BMI of 40 or higher, orbetween 30 and 40 if they have one or more medical complications related to their obesity. These complications (also known as co-morbidities) include Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and hypertension (high blood pressure).

Lap-Band (or gastric band) surgery is a minimally invasive form of weight loss surgery that involves the placement of an adjustable band near the top of the patient's stomach. Through medically supervised loosening or tightening of the band following the bariatric surgery, the patient will feel full after consuming less food. These adjustments, together with other lifestyle changes, can lead to gradual, but significant, weight loss.

The new Lovelace Westside Bariatrics website also includes an affordability calculator to help calculate the cost of weight loss surgery (After the tool adds up how much you are currently spending on food, prescriptions and other weight loss programs, you may decide that New Mexico lap band surgery is surprisingly affordable).
