Has anybody ever been refused by their surgeon because of low BMI?

My PCP (PacifiCare HMO) has referred me to Dr Rabkin and assured me she would go to bat for me. BMI is only 39 and none of my comorbidities (leg, ankle and knee pain, feet swelling and pain, short of breath, minor hear murmur)as been documentated. I'm scared Dr Rabkin will turn me down.
