If you are asking if you are a candidate, you may be. Your BMI calculates at 39.5. From what I know, if you have any comorbidities, that qualifies you - you need a BMI of 35 if you also have comorbidities. If you have no comorbidities, you need a BMI of 40.

From other things I am reading, if you are self-paying and find a surgeon willing to go along, then there seems to be that option, too. I don't really know though.

As for deciding whether or not to do this or not, that is completely up to you and no one, really, can help you with that other than to share their experiences. I can't do so yet as I'm just getting started in the process, but personally, I no longer can see NOT doing this.
