I had hernia surgery with mesh January 2017 for umbilical hernia. Had a hernia repair lower left abdomen in december. I have been between a lupus diagnosis and a fibromyalgia diagnosis so was on steroids multiple times all year...i am now at an all time highest weight of 272. I was a size 10/12 3 years ago after losing weight on my own with high protein high fiber low carbs and walking. Now i can not walk for more then few minutes. My question. Is would i be eligible for any bariatric weight loss surgery?
