Depends: Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher (extreme obesity) Your BMI is 35 to 39.9 (obesity) and you have a serious weight-related health problem, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea In some cases, you may qualify for certain types of weight-loss surgery if your BMI is 30 to 34 and you have serious weight-related health problem

Bariatric surgery: Before making too many moves I recommend you see a different specialist associated with fatty liver issues. Please let me know what develops.

It would: To meet indications for bariatric surgery you must have a BMI > 30 and at least 1 medical condition attributable to obesity such as hypertension, metabolic syndrome, or diabetes. Fatty liver, especially if inflammation is present, would likely meet accepted indications for the procedure as long as you don't have other issues making you high risk for the operation.
