Do you think that I will qualify for the RNY surgery?

I am 25 years old. My BMI is 43 and I am a Type 2 diabetic. I have been dieting since I was 9 years old. My intake worker at Neweigh seems pesimistic about my chances for approval. She said because I am not "that overweight" ( I think 120lbs is VERY overweight) and because I am only 25, my chnaces are lower than average. My question is, is there anyone else with about the same BMI and the same age that has been approved? I have documented diabetis and I am on insulin. I also have a very thourough diet history. Thank you
