Good day, thank you for your question regarding weight loss surgery or bariatric surgery.
As your weight is 136kg and height is 160cm your BMI is 53.1 kg/m2.
This indicates you're eligible for bariatric surgery.
As a bariatric surgeon you need to come see me for a preoperative assessment and counseling regarding the surgery. This will be followed by a detailed post operative plan.
Please let us know and we'll schedule an appointment for you.
thank you.
