How To Lose Weight In An Elderly Person?

I am 76, Male with weight issues all my life. Presently participating in a medically supervised weight loss program. Mostly Med Diet. I have done it all many times under several physicians. Pills, shots, OptiFast etc.
I am an Afib patient for over twenty years. Under control with Ameodarone.
What is the opinion for someone like myself to try the Sleeve procedure.
