past hx of bulimia

My entire life - one continuous battle with weight... Vascillating WILDLY between ever increasing number of pounds...the preverbial yo-yo ALWAYS moving up or down the scale. Diets of every kind...including the LAST CHANCE DIET supervised by the author of said book...shots,pills, you name it...then bulimic for 10 years...enough of that, followed by years of therapy, then, Overeater Anonymous, WHATEVER...and now a decade later at the age of 45 continuously moving between 250 and 275lbs. on a 5'1 frame this with the help of xenical. The question...Does this erratic history, and particularly the hx of bulimia make me a poor candidate for surgery? No one has mentioned a history of anorexia in the postings. If anyone has had such history would you please share with me any physician feedback you may have.
