Ideally your weight and height should bring you to a BMI(Body Mass Index) of between 20-25. The reason for this is because the surgery is done anteriorly(from the front) hence the surgeon doesn`t want to be cutting through layers of fat to do your surgery.
Its a hard operation for the surgeon without much "Elbow room" so you only make things harder if you are overweight. There is help to assess your BMI in the FAQ`s.

Yes you can have surgery overweight but usually it does not have a good outcome
