Making
History

These are the first and very important steps to change you life completely.

You have to be of age (over 18).
Your doctor must confirm that your obesity has not been caused by any other disease that might be treated through other means.
Your body mass index (BMI) must be over 40 or at least over 35 if you suffer from other morbid obesity-related disease
You must have lived at least for 5 years within those indexes and have failed in your attempts to lose weight with non-surgical treatments.

Take a time to think through the considerable changes that you will have to make in your feeding habits after your stomach capacity is reduced.
Prepare yourself mentally to sustain these changes for the rest of your life.
Bear in mind that you will not be able to drink large amounts of alcohol.
If you are used to drinking alcohol en excess, you may probably not be a good candidate for this surgery.
