Weight loss surgery: Only a weight loss surgeon will be able to answer that and the best ones recommend a diet for a few weeks or months before deciding whether you need surgery or not. The surgeons are excellent and, to my knowledge, really look after patients like you. Trust them!

See your doctor.: certainly we have no details here of your situation, but a decision whether to have weight-loss surgery can only be made after weighing the potential risks and potential benefits. This discussion would be best served by going to your doctor. Weight-loss surgery certainly can carry with it many risks, but in some circumstances could be the best thing. Good luck.
