Getting Scared...Needing Advice...Your Feedback Please

Hello :) I went to see the WLS surg, I a boarder line for him to do surg. He wanted to see me after digging up what comorbs I have... I go see him again on Monday. I have went to see the nero, uro, ortho, and my pcp. Pcp is sending a letter of recommendation to WLS doc. Nero says I have a bulging disk, uro wants to put a sling on my bladder/urethra for stress incont, my ortho is trying to figure out what is wrong with my knee. They took an xray and found that I might have "runners knee" (even though I don't run). They have me on an anti-inflam and then gave a cortizone shot under the knee cap. I also have constant heartburn, and am on depression medication. I have a sheet from my bio father stating the family history on his side (which has obesity) and then from my birth mom showing her side of the family (again obesity). Are these the kind of comorbs he is looking for? I am 240 (hoping to weigh in with shoes and heavy clothes at 243 or so. I am 5'6" tall. I am scared these wont be enough in his book. Any advice, help, or words to arm myself with would be a BIG help. Again thanks for the time it took to read and think about me....another fat friend :)
