Am i too unhealthy from my co-morbids to have wls?

for the past week i have been so depressed. this is not good because i am already under psychiatric care for major depression & am on meds. & yes, the depression is one of many co-morbids for me. i read the q & a's & message board every night. i have learned so much from all of u. a big hug & thank u for that. now i find i need ur support. i just spent my nightly hour of reading the wls pages & it popped into my head what i am so depressed about. my dear, loving & very supportive husband has voiced my inner-most fear! he thinks i am way too unhealthy to be a candidate for wls. he told me not to get my hopes up because he doesnt want me to be so terribly disappointed when i have my first consult with my surgeon in august & he tells me that awful 2 letter word 'NO'. my cariologist & pcp think i am a great candidate for the surgery & r encouraging me to do it. my cardiologist is even starting his pre-op testing next week so that i can bring the reports with me to the consultation. my pcp told me he knows just what to write if i run up against any opposition with bc/bs. so with these two positive attitudes from these great doctors, why do i have the nagging fear of being refused by the surgeon?
