I Am a 23 Year Old Female Who Has PCOS and I Am Unable to Lose Weight Will I Be Considered?

I hear that most surgeons want you to lose weight before the surgery, well I have tried and tried and I cant lose weight I eat very healthy work out, 3-5 days a week and I cant seem to lose the weight I have pcos and my hormones are all out of wack, how do I qualify for this surgery if I was unable to lose the 10% body weight required ??? i have a consolation with a surgeon tomorrow about 2 hours away and i don't want to be turned away or told u need to lose weight first, what do i do??????
