You need to be morbidly obese [BMI of 40 or greater, or 35 with a risk factor like diabetes or heart disease] and been on every conceivable diet imaginable. Diet and exercise actually are effective, if you're willing to actually put in the effort EVERY day and not kid yourself about what you're eating.
It's a risky procedure and it's permament and life-changing. Consider ALL your options before you even consider it. Also, most doctors won't do the procedure on someone younger than 18 unless their life is in mortal danger. ]
