Your Questions Answered
How do I know if I qualify for bariatric surgery?
You may be a candidate for bariatric surgery if you:

- Have a BMI of 40 or higher, even without medical conditions.
- Have struggled with long-term weight loss through diet and exercise.

The best way to determine eligibility is through a consultation with one of our board certified surgeons, where we will assess your health, goals, and available options.
What are the different types of bariatric surgery offered?
At BodEvolve, we offer the most advanced minimally invasive bariatric procedures, including:
- Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy) – Reduces stomach size to help control hunger and portion sizes.
- Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) – Alters digestion to promote weight loss and improve metabolic conditions.
- Duodenal Switch (SADI & Traditional) – Offers the most significant weight loss and metabolic benefits.
- Bariatric Revision Surgery – Corrects or modifies previous weight loss surgeries for better results.
Will insurance cover my bariatric surgery?
Many insurance plans cover bariatric surgery if you meet the medical criteria. Our team will verify your insurance benefits and guide you through the approval process. If you do not have coverage, we offer financing options to make surgery more accessible.
We currently do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.
