Hi, white female turning 49 this year. Im just under 5'5' and weigh around 188lbs. I have hypertension and take losartan 100mg and Hctz 50 mg to control my blood pressure and im worried about becoming diabetic as well. Ive also had acl surgery about 6 years ago and finding the weight is really affecting my ability to hike due to that knee and now the ankle being affected. Ive always fluctuated with weight my lowest weight in the last 5yeaar 160lbs. Is this surgery even appropriate
