I too have CHF. Be completely honest with your surgeon. I was told that having CHF put me in the high risk group for surgery. I was also told by my cardiologist that the weight loss would offset the risks, as my CHF may actually go away, as the circulation improves as weight is lost. Go for it. You can look at this another way. Stay overwieght and die at a younger age, or take the risk and increase your lifespn. Good Luck.
