Hi Salazar. I'm in Loudoun, and I've found that we have no shortage of bariatric surgery practices here. There must at least a dozen of them between Winchester, Fredericksburg, and Baltimore. PrupleSleeve mentioned Virginia Bariatric, which is where I have my initial consultation scheduled. I am fairly certain that I heard Dr. Fitzer mention, either in his webinar or on one of his youtube videos, than the current criteria for surgery were established when surgery-related morbidity/mortality risk was much greater than it is today. If you haven't already reached out to his office, I think it's worth a few minutes to call and ask if he would consider someone like you as a candidate.

One other thing to consider (if you haven't already done so) is to have your thyroid checked. I was super active in high school but could not seem to lose the 15 - 20 extra pounds I carried around unless I went on a severely calorie restrictive diet. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 17, and once on medication, I lost that extra weight in college.

[Now, I ended up gaining about 50 pounds in grad school thanks to some mild depression resulting in inactivity, over eating and poor food choices. This and weight gained since is what I'm struggling with 25 years later resulting in my considering the surgery now.]
