Anyone ever had to GAIN weight to have surgery?

I may have a unique situation. I am 5'5" and weigh about 225. My BMI is about 37. I want this surgery so badly I am actually thinking of trying to gain an extra 10 lbs so I will qualify for the surgery. Am I crazy?? I feel it is my last hope. I like all of you, have tried EVERYTHING to lose weight. My co-morbities include ankel and foot problems, low back pain, depression, shortness of breath. I had gestational diabetes with my last pregancy and that alone gives me a greater chance at diabetes, I know my weight does not help. So am I crazy??? I feel like its my only hope. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Please either post or email me prvately. Thanks. [email protected]
