Hello Anonymous,
Before bariatric surgery is performed, you must be evaluated by a surgeon, who is trained in this field. A psychological evaluation is done prior to approval of the procedure. Your overall health status plays a factor in determining if you are a candidate.
I suggest you talk with your primary care physician, who can refer you to a bariatric surgery center.
