Who is a candidate for weight loss surgery?

Candidates for bariatric surgery typically have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. However, eligibility criteria may vary depending on the specific procedure and the patient’s overall health.

What bariatric procedures are offered at Idaho BMI, and how do I know which one is right for me?

Dr. David Brown and the team at Idaho BMI in Boise, Idaho is dedicated to offering individual suggestions for you. Scheduling a consultation is the best way to determine which procedure is right for you. During a consultation you will meet with Dr. Brown and our staff, and we will review in detail bariatric procedures, and the pathway to get there – whether that be through self-pay or through your insurance plan.

How do I know where my weight loss surgery will be performed?

At Idaho BMI, the location of your surgery will be determined on your health history and your method of payment. If you are a self-pay bariatric patient, your surgery will likely be performed at Everest Surgical Institute. If you are a bariatric insurance patient, your surgery will likely be performed at a hospital. Details about where your surgery will be performed will be reviewed with you during a consultation at Idaho BMI.

How long is the actual procedure for bariatric surgery?

Each procedure varies in length in the operating room and depends on where your procedure is performed. The typical surgery time for a 3-incision gastric sleeve is approximately 35-45 minutes.
