I am 23 years old and have struggled with weight for a long time. I do have a bad relationship with food and sweets especially. I want to also see a psychiatrist and a nutritionist to speak about these problems before and after getting this surgery if I am eligible.

Do not have a high blood pressure or high cholesterol. BMI- 35
