AB Selection  of  patients  for  bariatric  procedures  is  based  on  evidence-based  guidelines.  Patients  must  have  failed  dietary  therapy  and  have  a  body  mass  index  (BMI)  greater  than  35  kg/m2  with  associated  medical  condition(s)  or  a  BMI  greater  than  40  kg/m2  regardless  of  associated  medical  conditions.  In  addition,  practical  considerations  for  the  patient  to  be  a  candidate  for  the  procedure  include  psychiatric  stability,  a  motivated  attitude,  and  comprehension  of  the  nature  of  the  procedure  and  the  changes  in  eating  that  will  follow  the  procedure.
