  9. Hey everyone, my name is Nicole, I am 24 and with my weight being at 315, I was told by my doctor and my mother to get this procedure. I am not ashamed of my body weight, but I do want to do something about it. I get mixed opinions and personal experiences and I understand they are not typical for everyone who does get this. My problem is, I don't know if I want to do this, I've sworn off gastric surgery because it has had a bad affect on some people In my family. But I don't know where to turn. I am scared that if I were to do this I will become a individual I myself would despise and if I don't I could end up in a grave or ridiculed my whole life. I'm hoping you lovely people will help shed some light on this issue. I want to get it but then again, I don't. I always thought I am too mentally unstable (depression, anxiety, ADD) to really take this risk. I didn't know where to turn, and with doctors telling me "Relax, you'll be fine" I can't help but think I need extra support. Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a fantastic day! -Nicole
