Is stomach stapling allowed in Islam for obese and diabetic individuals who have tried other weight loss methods?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
salaam alaikum my friend who is severely obese and diabetic has been told by the doctor that after trying to loose weight with medication and that failing and after all exercises being tried the only option to avoid a severe fatal risk, they should have their stomach stapled, as subhanaAllah it is too late to try other precautions, could you tell me if this is permissible in islam?
