Does anyone know of a surgeon in CA that performs WLS on a person with a BMI of 73?

I have been to the seminar and had my first office visit with the surgeon I chose,I have even had all the neccessary testing done....I was informed that my BMI had to be at 40 or above...so I had hope....but today the office tells me that I am not a candidate at this time for surgery in my area....Modesto, CA because my BMI is too high....I thought that was the point...I am morbidly obese.(I hate that saying) and I have tried everything to lose weight...but to no avail....I don't know where else to turn...If anyone has ANY helpful info on any surgeons in the CA area who would take a patient with a Bmi of 73 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know...Please e-mail me at [email protected]
