Will I be able to lose the weight and keep it off after 40?

FIGHT FAT AFTER 40 - STRESS AND WEIGHT GAIN!! I work in a very high stress job (police dispatcher), which is a job I love (along with the adenaline rushes) Since I started working there 8 yrs ago, I've gained over 100lbs. I really think there is something to having high cortisol levels that come with the stress which contribute to gaining weight. My concern is that will I be able to lose weight and maintain my weightloss after surgery? I'm worried that this won't be successful unless I manage my eating and stress. But even though I love what I do, keeping high levels of cortisol is bad and contributes to "toxic weight" in the abdominal area. Any ideas, comments or suggestion from any posties with high stress jobs or adenaline junkies out there like myself? Thanks!!
