As fas as my understanding goes, this is not a required surgery, but one of the many options available for weight loss. Just as you have exercises and diet recommendations, this method of weight loss is surgical - with its own PROs and CONs.

My advice is please get MULTIPLE medical opinions on this procedure before proceeding.

And finally, this does not seem to have any adverse effect on your immigration - unless you have other inadmissible conditions. Overweight people (not necessarily higher BMI) are equally eligible for PR as are underweight and ideal weight persons.

Try the traditional methods of weight loss - exercise and diets - you might achieve the same/better results in the next 18 months.

Good luck.
