I'm 21 years old 5'4 and around 195 pounds. I am diabetic, have asthma and plantar fasciitis. I was wondering if I'd qualify for the gastric sleeve. I've been overweight all my life and can't seem to lose more then 20 lbs and keep it off no matter what I do. I know I'm young but it feels like my only option at this point. Please help me
