You can click on either the adult BMI Calculator or the child/teen BMI Calculator.

The website below would work, or you can always calculate it yourself:
(weight in lbs * 703) / (height in inches²) = BMI
or for our metric friends ...
(weight in kg) / (height in m²) = BMI
A BMI of 15-20 is considered normal for women, and 20-25 for men. However, this is solely based on height and weight, so unusual conditions, like pregnancy, puberty, or an unusually muscular physique, can throw off the calculation. And, of course, it's just a number. The most important thing is how you feel about your body.

Gastric Bypass Surgery/gastrectomy/lapband (all types of weight loss /bariatric surgery) is very cheap and safe in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.
I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your obesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
My cousin got her obesity surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .SHe is more than very happy with the results.She has lost 65lbs in 5 months.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.I strongly recommend this company to you-if you are seriously looking for the surgery as they can be of big help to you
