Can I have WLS at 5'1

Hi Im wondering if I can have the open RNY at 5'1" and 220lbs. My BMI is at 40 I have high blood pressure (but not on meds)my feet, knees and back hurt all the time. I have to pee all the time as well. I've had my first appointment with Dr. Udobi in KC and am going for my 2nd in Novemember. I have obesity in my family and lots of heart disease. I have tried every diet known to man but just put the weight back on. Im concerned that as I get older it will lead to more problems. Do you think the DR. will take into consideration my family history even though my co-morbidies are not as signifacinate as others at this point? Any and all experiences and thoughts would be helpful!!!!!!! Thanks Angi
