In our center, the Body Mass Index (BMI) of every patient is determined to accurately calculate the severity of the patient's morbid obesity. BMI is calculated by dividing the weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. Normal BMI is approximately 25, BMI over 40 is considered morbidly obese. You can find out your Body Mass Index by using our BMI Calculator.
