BMI of 36.5 w/ a few co-morbs but concerned

My BMI is 36.5 I'm 5'8" and 240. I don't think I LOOK big which is a concern to me because I think doctors will laugh about my interest in this surgery but my co-morbs include: Extremely irregular periods (last time I missed 3 months worth of periods and they had to induce my period by medication so they could put me on birth control), shortness of breath over little exertion, back and knee problems, problems with my nerves (my mother-in-law calls it Cyatica) , however spelled, Migraines, I also have IBS which may be relevant to my weight. I have to be on medication all the time, the symptoms could clear up if I lost this weight. But this is my delimma so if anyone has any input at all it would be greatly appreciated!
