The number of Americans in Clarksville, TN and other communities who are affected by obesity – either directly or indirectly – has increased from 20 years ago.  Has your Clarksville family doctor expressed concern over you weight and asked you to think about bariatric surgery like gastric banding for obesity help?  Indeed, if you have a Body Mass Index greater than 40, you could be eligible for Clarksville Lap Band® surgery or another weight loss surgery procedure called gastric bypass surgery. However, you should ask your Clarksville, Tennessee bariatric surgeon for more specifics because you could be eligible with an even lower BMI if you also have obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, or another health issue that is caused by your weight. If the surgeon determines your BMI is above 50, they may elect to use biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch instead of a gastric bypass or a gastric band.
