Would a history of bipolar and eating disorder keep me from surgery?

I am a stable bipolar (episode free and medication compliant for 3 years) who was anorexic and bulimic when I was 13 to 17 years old. WOuld these issues keep me from getting approval for surgery? I am 5'8" and 282 lbs (BMI of 42.6) with many comorbities (RA, asthma, back problems, knee pain, GERD, angina, heart palpitations, IBS and a few others.) Any thoughts on this?
