Does BMI of 36 with strong family history of breast cancer qualify for WLS?

I have a relative who has been a yo-yo dieter for years.She "only" has a BMI of 36 but has lost 3 close relatives to breast cancer. SHe also has gall bladder problems. SHe has considered taking the tamoxifen (?) treatment and even having her breasts removed prophylactically. Is she a candidate for WLS?
