I have to many questions Please Help!!!

I have so many questions from where to begin and what my qualifications need to be, and as how this will change my lifestyle. Q-1)- Im 19,285lbs,BMI-42.1,co-morbiditys-asthma,sleep apnea,lower back pain, breathing problems(with physical exhertion) what would be the best surgecal option? Q-2)- How will this affect my lifestyle? will i still be able to have a drink now and than? or is that off limits completely Q-3)- Will I be able to have children after surgery? Q-4)- Being my age will I be able to be approved? Q-5)- Whats the pain level expected for post-op? Q-6)- Where would I find a Dr. who is WLS friendly? Q-7)- Will BC/BS give me a hard time? please if i can find someone who will answer my questions, my health and life depend on it! I constantly live with being out of breath, getting pains in my chest when am active, but every time i go to a doctors office they tell me that i have to have will power, and then i just feel utterly humiliated and dont bother going back. A good friend of mine was only in late twenties, and weighed over 3oo lbs, and died 2 yrs ago of a masive heartattck, and I dont want that to be me. but i have tried every diet regimen and none has helped, oh sure maybe for a few weeks but once i go off i gain it all back and then some. I have never been put on a diet by a doctor, and have never even been given any type of pill that will help, my sister who is smaller than me, went to a doctor and she didnt even ask for diet pills and he gave her some, but when i went there he told me that he wouldnt give me any!!, Why cant they see that if they dont help me, I feel as though i will die of morbid obesity! Sure i want to look good, and there are all those other vanity issues, but more than anything i want to be healthy, i want a long life, and i want to be physically fit. My family history is diabetes,chf,heart problems(like you wouldnt believe)! these are things that i dont want for myself! If you can help me answer these questions please email me soon!!!
