It is recommended that anyone with chronic underlying disease such as Heart disease should get the flu vaccination, so yes, you should despite your otherwise good health.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The risks and side effects of the vaccination are much lower than the risk of serious complications in high risk persons. See the related questions below for more information about the high risk groups.
In the US, those over 65 are in the lower priority groups to receive the vaccinations since this group has an unusually lower rate of infection than they do with the seasonal flu (perhaps due to immunity from prior exposure). But I believe it is still being recommended to all over age 65, regardless of health status, in the UK.

Gastric weight loss can be significant. People that have terrible health problems should get it if they can get relief no other way. There are guidelines that suggest there are only certain types of people that qualify for gastric bypass procedures. If your body mass index is 40 or higher, you should get gastric bypass procedures. Your doctor should only consider it if you couldn't get relief from other treatments. You should have been obese for at least five years too. You shouldn't have an alcohol problem. You shouldn't be depressed without getting treatment either. These are the stipulations for the surgery.
