Good Morning!

I'm a 51 year old woman with a BMI of 37. I have existing comorbilities such as engina, high HP, foot problems, joint problems, depression (under control with meds). I have had one appointment with the dietician, and my pycho. evaluation scheduled for Oct. 31 (Halloween). I am interested in learning everything about bariatric surgery (the good and the bad). I have several more appt. scheduled with the dietician, and hopefully in 6 months I will be on the road to recovery from obesity. I would like to know what comorbilities qualify for surgery. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from all.
