With Age and weight she will be benefited with bariatric surgery. If she has tried diet restriction and exercise in these last 7 years and failed to reduce weight Sleeve Gastrectomy will be one better option to consider. Its true with a positive family history she may have Type II Diabetes in later life and joint pains is also a sequel of obesity. In my opinion she must consider surgery.

Weight loss surgery includes restrictive and bypass procedures, surgery should only be done when obesity is associated with metabolic syndrome.

for obesity there is a solution beside surgery and its modern day weight loss called keto diet .if you are interested i can help you and you will definitely loose weight but before embarking to any weight loss technique i want to ask question and will do some test as to know as you are fit for this type of weight loss or not
