Your Body Mass Index ("BMI")
At DayOne our medical team considers several factors when evaluating whether or not you are a good candidate for the Lap-Band procedure, including your overall health and your previous weight loss efforts. As part of the initial consultation, our doctors look at your Body Mass Index, or "BMI". Your BMI is a calculation that uses both your height and your weight to determine how overweight you are. It is considered to be a more accurate measurement than just weight alone.
