I was wondering if I qualify for weight loss surgery at 230lbs and 5'3/5'4?

Yes!!! you are candidate for bariatric surgery. The guidelines establish that patient with a BMI above 35, or 30 with associated diseases ( i.e. diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, etc) are consider for bariatric surgery. You should seek a consultation with a bariatric surgeon to explore your options.

For weight loss surgery, eligibility is generally based on a combination of factors, including your body mass index (BMI), overall health, and whether you've tried other weight loss methods without long-term success.
Given your height (5'3" or 5'4") and weight (230 lbs), your BMI would fall around 40, which is typically considered the threshold for bariatric surgery. A BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 with obesity-related health conditions (like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea), often qualifies someone for weight loss surgery.
However, you would also need to demonstrate that you've tried and failed with non-surgical weight loss methods like diet and exercise, and that surgery is the best option for long-term success. It’s a good idea to consult with a bariatric surgeon to go over your specific case, medical history, and potential risks.

Hello, your BMI is 40.6, you are suitable for the gastric sleeve surgery. There is an average of 10% weight loss per month. In the first month,8-12 kg lost in female patients; 10-17 kg in male patients are seen. By losing weight and approaching the ideal weight, your risk of catching current or possible diseases is reduced. Thus, you can reach your ideal weight with the gastric sleeve operation.
