*Please note that these criteria are guidelines established in the interest of the patient; however, in circumstances that warrant a review of age and BMI limitations, WLSA reserves the right to assess each patient on an individual basis and may in certain circumstances approve a patient who falls outside of these clinical criteria for weight loss surgery. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
