I am starting to doubt myself and the surgery

I am 31 yrs. old, I am 5'0, and weigh anywhere rom 255-265. I have a seminar to attend on the 11th of this month in Phoenix,AZ. My husband and my best friend keep telling me I'm too skinny to have to have WLS...be prepared to be the skinniest person at the seminar and to feel embarassed. I fit the criteria...My BMI is around 47 and I'm definately over 100 lbs overweight. Do I sound not heavy enough for WLS? I was so excited to be going to Dr. Juarez's seminar, because the next step is seeing if he'll perform WLS on me. Now, I am staring to wonder if I should go at all. Does nayone know of anyone else my size who had WLS? I really do need some type of emcouragement. It's just too bad that it's not from the people I need it from!
