Yes Bariatric Surgery would be helpful. Pros - Weight loss,chances of resolution of BP; reduction in risk arthritis, Sleep apnea, cancer etc. Cons-Bariatric surgery is done with Laparoscopy nowadays. Your stay in the hospital will be 2/3days.As with every surgery there are some inherent risks with Bariatric surgery as well. But they are rare nowadays. For long term side effects you may have vitamin and iron deficiency. Hope this helps Regards Dr Sushil Deshmukh Laparocopic and Bariatric Surgeon Pune
