Am I a candidate for Gastric Sleeve or Bypass Sleeve Surgery? (photos)

March 17, 2022

I am age 45 and have struggled with my weight my entire life. I am 165cm and my BMI is 31-32. I am athletic (soccer, CrossFit, skiing, running) with good nutrition, but this is not a case of having muscle to skew the BMI as the fat is there as well. The only times I could keep my weight down to BMI 25 is when a doc gave appetite suppressants and I kept a very low caloric intake of <600 a day. I do have PCOS and at risk for diabetes / hbp etc. Am I a candidate for gastric sleeve or bypass sleeve?
