What health problems do I need to qualify for gastric bypass surgery?
Are there any other options to losing weight than surgery? How much overweight should I be to get gastric bypass surgery?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hello @buckets!
Gastric bypass surgery is for those who find it difficult to achieve or maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise, and who is severely overweight and those who have health problems as a result.
This is an option for those who have body mass index or 40 or higher. If the BMI is 35 to 39.9 and you have a serious weight-related health problem like diabetes or high blood pressure. Gastric bypass surgery does not replace healthy diet and exercise and part of the success of the surgery depend in the commitment for following guidelines given to you about diet and exercise.
For one who is considering weight-loss surgery, make sure that you exercise, change your eating habits and and adjust lifestyles habits that have contributed to excess weight.
Other options for losing weight are:
1. Regular exercise
2. Drink plenty of water
