Anyone ever been told they were too young for WLS?

I saw a bariatric surgeon when I was 18 about having WLS. He told me I was too young. I was also diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri that same year. Now I am 25 years old and I recently started seeing a neurologist again for the pseudotumor cerebri. He of course suggested I lose weight as weight loss is known to help and even cure the symptoms. I have found myself considering WLS again and have been the last year researching and educating myself about WLS. One of my major concerns now is that I will once again be told I am too young. Has anyone my age or younger had any form of WLS? If so..which procedures and who was your surgeon? Thanks!
