Am I Eligible for Bariatric Surgery or Medical Weight Loss?
Use the BMI calculator and screening form below to take the first step. This is a preliminary screening only — eligibility for any treatment is determined by licensed medical specialists after proper consultation and evaluation.
Step 1 — Calculate your BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a starting point that specialists use — together with your health conditions and history — when considering treatment options. It is not a diagnosis and not a decision.
BMI alone does not determine eligibility. Age, medical conditions, medications, surgical history, and specialist evaluation all affect what treatment — if any — is appropriate. Adjusted thresholds are often considered for Asian populations; your review will take this into account.
Step 2 — Complete the eligibility screening
The screening form takes about 5 minutes. Your information is treated confidentially and used only to coordinate your preliminary review. Fields marked optional can be skipped — send what you have, and we will guide you on the rest.

Thank you. Your information has been received.
NextWeight Korea will review your submitted information and guide you on the appropriate next step. This preliminary review does not replace a medical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment recommendation.
You can expect to hear from us by WhatsApp or email within 2 business days. If you prefer to talk sooner, you can reach us directly on WhatsApp.
What this screening can and cannot tell you
This screening helps us understand your situation well enough to coordinate a preliminary review and suggest a sensible next step. It cannot tell you whether you will be approved for surgery, which procedure is right for you, or what your final costs will be. Those answers require specialist consultation, and in most cases, in-person evaluation and testing at the hospital.
Some patients who complete this screening will be guided toward medical weight loss instead of surgery. Some will be advised that additional evaluation is needed before any travel planning. This is the screening working as intended — its purpose is to point you toward the right care, not to move you toward surgery.
Prefer to talk it through first?
If a form feels like too much right now — or you are asking on behalf of a family member — you can start the same process on WhatsApp. We will ask a few simple questions and guide you from there.
