I'm a 5' 4 and weigh 190 pounds. Would I qualify for any weight-loss surgical help? (Photos)

I'm a 29 year old female who has struggled with weight all my life. I'm known for always being on some workout regiment and/or restrictive diet. Thought iv'e always been the fattest, iv'e always been the most athletic. However, that's all changed now that the weight has caught up with me. I have lower back and knee pain, and i'm unable to be as active. My body is swallowing me up. I'm extremely depressed and in desperate need of help. Is there a weight-loss surgery that I qualify for? Thank you.
