Has anyone ever been told that they where not obese enough to have the open RYN?

I know this might be a silly question, but my heart is breaking. I am 5ft 1inch and I am almost 200 lbs. My BMI (if I figured it right) is 37.5. I realise that maybe I don't have as much to lose as some of you wonderful people at this site, But!!!!!! My extra weight is as uncomfortable to me as maybe someone elses would be to them. I recieved a referral from my GP to go see the surgeon in Mich. When I called to have the clinic send me the info I needed to be able to set up a consultation, they told me that they didn't feel I was over weight enough to be considered. I also have co-mobidities. Hypertension 240/140. This is about what it normally runs, even on meds. I also am manic-depressive, also on meds. I have had heart problems in the past. I have had three major surgeries due to health problems. Is there anyone out there that has come across the same problems as myself? If so, please contact me at [email protected] I would greatly appreciate any help, or answers you might have on the subject. Thanks or listening, and hope you all have a wonderful day!!!!!
