Hey I totally feel ya. In my case I am almost 33 in BMI and all doctors I have called had told me know. I even explain the main reason why since I have problems in my knees and I cannot have normal activities due that the knee does not support the body weight. However, I called one and they say that will do it here in Florida, but their price is too high, they want 17,000 USD, and I cannot afford that amount... So I spoke to one in Mexico they do it for 7,000. But I am a little afraid going to Mexico for surgery, I am looking at Canada and other places to try to make the best decision.. Good luck, do not give up, just Google it and you will find something.
