This is very good and informative information that is even new to me. My surgeons' office prefers not to Band people with a
BMI greater than 50. In '04 I was their first that was over 50, with a BMI of 54.5. I have been very happy with my Band!

A statistical method of figuring out the degree of excess or insufficient weight based on one's height & weight. Though the controversial BMI does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it is a useful tool to estimate a healthy body weight based on how tall a person is. |
