I am 22 yr old my BMI is 37.1 and I weigh 196, is this surgery for me?

I have been battling with my weight since I was a child. In the third grade I weighed 100 pounds. By the time I reached High school I weighed 179. In the middle of my senior year I decided to get very strict about my weight. I stay active got two jobs plus attend college that August and I went from 179 to 163. I was proud of myself but as the months passed I didn't see my weight getting any less. Then I got pregnant. After having my daughter I went into deep depression. I talked to my midwife to try different diets. They always seemed to fail me. Then in March of 2001 I found out that I was pregnant with twins. I had them in August and lost all of my baby fat and some. Now they are 6 months old and I have gained 26 more pounds right back. I am almost at the weight I was before I had them. I so much family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholestrol, poor blood circulation, heart problems, and obesity. Will I qualify?
