Surgeon has declined to perform my surgery, I am beyond devastated...

Got the phone call this AM from the surgeon's office and got a big, "NO" from this clinic staff member whom I'd never even met or talked to before. Due to my issues with binge-eating, the surgeon says I am not a candidate for this surgery. They will not even submit it to my insurance b/c my surgeon will not clear me to even get to that step. I am shocked, stunned, angry, pissed, and in some ways completely numb. So, what next?? Well, if I can get the binge eating disorder under control for about a year, I can try again for the surgery... thing is, if I get the binge eating under control, I should lose weight, and once I lose 100lbs which will probably take me a couple of years, my BMI will be too low to qualify for surgery! Ain't THAT a bitch?! Will try to write more later, too upset right now. Anyone out there in a similar situation? Is OH just for WLS people?
