See a weight loss surgeon
Jan 17, 2018
You need to get an accurate weight and height, so see a weight loss surgeon. You will also need to have an evaluation of your blood work to see if you have issues with cholesterol or diabetes.  You are certainly close to the point of qualifying for most insurance. You could self pay for the surgery also.
I am 5'9", 230 pounds, would I be a good candidate for gastric sleeve - a nurse told me no.

How is it possible to lose weight when I have hypothyroidism?
It isn't your thyroid
Nov 25, 2017
Thryroid is not the issue- what you eat is. How you eat is. First get your thyroid regulated with the help of your doctor. Next get your diet in order. Start with getting rid of highly processed foods- breads, pastries, chips, cookies.  Make certain that you daily get in 3 cups of vegetables (pre cooked) and lots of them. Increase fish to twice a week. You can keep track of calories if you like, but most don't do that over the long run - the best is something you can sustain. Decrease meat a...
I’m 42 years old, BMI of 34. Would Medicare pay for sleeve surgery?
If you meet criteria
Nov 22, 2017
You would have to work with your bariatric surgeon, undergo a physician supervised diet, as well as some other requirements in order for Medicare to pay a portion of the surgery. 
I'm 20, have a 56.7 BMI, and no comorbidities. Am I eligible for weight loss surgery? Through m
Yes
Nov 15, 2017
Most states cover weight loss surgery through Medicaid. You meet the criteria that most states would follow. They may ask you to undergo some tests and a physician supervised diet prior to surgery. Check with a local weight loss surgeon for more details.
