Is my BMI too high for Lap RNY?

I am 5'0", 334 lbs., BMI 66. I applied to a surgeon who does lap RNY. Upon reviewing my application, he feels my BMI is oo high for him to do the surgery lap. However, before he declines, he wants to see me first to see if he can do it lap. My body type is very pear-shape, with most of my weight in my legs and buttocks. Has anyone had this problem?
