What's My BMI

BMI stands for Body Mass Index

This is a measure of obesity (not the most accurate but the most widely used) * The weight of the person is measured against the height. This way a taller person is given more weight allowance for the same BMI.

For children, BMI is adjusted to percentile weight and height along with gender. For calculating BMI in children <18 years of age, click on the links below.

UPDATE: The FDA has approved LAPBAND not Realize band for patients with a BMI of 30.

FDA modifies regulations for LapBand surgery.
