Bariatric surgery?: You may want to consider a bariatric surgery as the apron is probably the least of your medical health concerns. At this weight and age, you are placing yourself at high risk of complications including long term cardiac risks. You may be better served by a bariatric surgery procedure first.5-10 Kg from 140 kg presently, is unlikely to make a substantial difference in overall body contour.
