Go for it! I'm 352 and I am in the same boat. Nothing works. And mostly because I am morbidly obese.

Help me! What should I do?

Drook, Did you go to the seminar?

It is a very personal choice, but I can say I have no regrets. I was 258 at my highest weight. My hypothyroidism made it nearly impossible to loose weight and keep it off. After yo yo ing all my 20s and 1/2 my 30s, I decided on the surgery. I didn't have health problems... Yet, but mobility was becoming a factor. At 35 I felt limited in what I could do. I am only 6 days post op, but already feel pretty good and I love looking forward to things I will be able to do. Surgery is no joke. It is a big deal and the first few days, I felt like crap. Even then, though, I kept focused on what will be. If you are not ready, postpone the surgery, learn more about it, and make your choice when you are ready. Good Luck!!
