the heavier you are, the more risky any surgery is. Some bariatric surgeons are willing to operate on larger people - but some will refer you to surgeons who specialize in (or at least are comfortable with) higher-risk patients.

EDITED to emphasize that this pertains to ANY surgery, not just bariatric. I've known of people who had to get hip or knee replacements, and their surgeons required them to lose weight before they had the surgery.
