To get gastric bypass
Hello. I would like to take a bit of your time so you can give me advice. I'm currently 16 and I was thinking of getting gastric bypass surgery. I know it may seem like a risky thing but in my weight it seems like the only option. Wel the truth is that I weigh 312. I'm really depressed because of this. I try to be active but it doens't seem to help. My doctor isn't helping either because my parents can't afford to get the surgery for me. I'm desperate and I need help please so you have any advice.

Thank you for asking me personally first of all, and I'm very sorry for not answering your question sooner. I was answering it last night, but something really bad happened, so sorry.
I know that being overweight can really make you feel left out, unattractive, and depressed. It has to be hard not being able to find a good weight solution thats workable and affordable for you.
But even if you could afford the surgery, I wouldn't suggest it until you really commit yourself to a diet plan that's around or that you see on TV with the support of your parents. I believe that if you are going through something as tough as weight loss or depression, you really need family or friends as a support team behind you when things get tough. Weight loss is a really hard thing to do and a lot of people usually don't keep going with their diet plans because:
-Either they think it's not working even though you have to be patient and keep working at it for a long time
-Or they lose their desired weight, so they quit the diet and gain back half of the weight.
I will admit that I do not know a whole lot about diets and eating plans and how to lose weight, but I do know that it is not an easy task. So, what I think you need to do is let your parents know that you want to find a diet plan that you think could work or have a doctor recommend one for your age. And then see if you can get a plan going for you and try getting as much support from your family as you can.
You can also buy a book that has a weight solution, or the internet or maybe your parents would know something good to try. Whatever the solution may be, you have to work at it even when you think it's not working. Let your parents know how serious you are about losing weight and I'm hoping that you are as serious as you can get. I can't promise you that this won't be hard work and it won't make you want to quit sometimes, but if you were feeling good about it all of the time, that probably means that nothing is working. If you feel how hard it is, you'll know that it's likely working for you.
I know that this may not have been an answer you were looking for, but I really hope that you'll talk to your parents about losing weight and getting healthy.
