hjerry reacted to Recidivist in opinionsAs Greater Fool said, only you can make that decision. However, I can also say that it was the best decision I ever made as well and would do it again in a heartbeat.
My beginning stats were very similar to yours. I am 5'8, weighed 250 pounds, had high BP, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and knee issues. After surgery, I no longer need medication for BP or cholesterol, my sleep apnea disappeared, and my knees are much less painful (though not perfect--too many years of supporting my fat body).
You are right to be asking these questions. Do your research, talk to experts and others who have had surgery, and make your own decision.

hjerry reacted to ShoppGirl in 2 Weeks Post opVery few people are hungry post surgery. They cut most of your hunger hormones out with the large portion of stomach they remove. A few are but they are the exception.
