I am inquiring about having the gastric bypass surgery, but my BMI is not over 40.

I have BCBS PPO of Florida. I know they are specific about their criteria, but I also have some co-morbities: Sciatic, herniated disc, chronic back and leg pain, history of asthma, and family history of obesity and cardiac problems. Does anyone think I have a chance and/or does anyone know a physician who might be willing to do surgery on someone with a BMI under 40?
