Probably : It depends on your insurance and the weight and height at the doctors office - which are often different.

Maybe: Your bmi 36. To qualify for bariatric surgery you need to have weight related medical problems if your bmi is 35-40. Every insurance policy is different as far as what they consider to be co-morbid conditions. Make an appointment to see a bariatric surgeon in your area.
