Depends: If your bmi is more than 40 and you have medical problems that are attributable to obesity like diabetes or heart disease or sleep apnea and you have failed medically supervised weight loss, go to a weight loss seminar and set up an appointment to talk to a bariatric surgeon to discuss options. Good luck and stay healthy.
