Has anyone had surgery that did not need to lose 100lb?

I'm 5 31/2 and weigh 210 I need to lose about 70lbs I have tried everything and Im at wits end. I really hate looking in the mirror and being overweight consumes my thoughts all day. Its really depressing. It looks like I dont meet the guidlines has anyone had the suregery that had less than 100lbs to lose?

Pam, I am not a doctor, but from what I have studied, you have to be in the 35 BMI with co-morbidities and 40 BMI without. What is your BMI? Do you have any co-morbidities i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure etc? You should find a program near you and just attend their seminar and ask questions. That is what I did. I drove down from NH to RI just to attend Dr. Pohl's seminar. Hope this helps...God Bless.. Patti from NH having surgery in RI
