I'm at risk of getting diabetes. I want to lose 60 pounds and I would like to know if the sleeve surgery is right for me?

Hello
Thank you so much for your question and congratulation on taking the decision to become healthier. According with your BMI you can be a great candidate for bariatric surgery; but there are other factor to take into consideration before making a decision; in this case the procedure to keep in mind would be a revision. 
The sleeve gastrectomy, which reduces the size of the stomach is probably an excellent option because  the 70% to 80% of the stomach is removed and the part that produce Ghrelin which is a hormone that makes you feel hungry. Paired with healthy diet and exercise you should have a successful procedure. 
To qualify for weight loss surgery, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery recommends you meet one of the following:
1- BMI ≥ 40, or more than 100 pounds overweight.
2- BMI ≥35 and at least one or more obesity-related co-morbidities such as type II diabetes (T2DM), hypertension, sleep apnea and other respiratory disorders, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, lipid abnormalities, gastrointestinal disorders, or heart disease.
3- Inability to achieve a healthy weight loss sustained for a period of time with prior weight loss efforts.
Have a consultation with a bariatric surgeon this will allow you to discuss about the different procedures in details. Many factors should be considered when deciding for a bariatric surgery, is needed to check your current health status with lab work and in a consultation you can accomplish this.  Don't be discouraged and continue searching the best option to improve your health.
Good luck in this journey!

Great question... first it would be helpful to know your height to calculate your BMI... Generally speaking anyone with a BMI over 30 is classified as being obese and could be a candidate for surgery if diet and exercise has failed, but you need to speak with a specialist in weight loss surgery in order to see if you are a proper candidate... with that said and your pre-diabetes, gastric sleeve surgery helps many patients with curing if not significantly reducing medications for these associated co-morbitities.
