You need to research this thoroughly and weigh the risks & benefits for yourself. Gonadman's remarks are right on, so I won't reprise them. Find a surgeon who has done the procedure a lot. Be skeptical, ask yourself if you are ready to commit to bigtime lifestyle changes. I've taken care of a few patients who didn't do at all well post-op, in fact they died, but several coworkers who've been through it are looking and feeling much better. There are a lot of caveats, but if I were in your position I'd probably find myself a good surgeon and go for it.
