Weight loss surgery, RNY is gastric bypass

I know that your unhappy about how you carry your weight- but I can almost bet all 314 pounds is not carried in the section of your stomach that you are hoping to get removed. You need to be ready to deal with the diet & exercise that will be necessary to shed the all the excess weight. If you opt to do that through WLS, then I'd table the thoughts about a panniculectomy and focus on improving overall health. You're young!! You've got so much ahead of you to be healthy for!

I had RNY, no regrets at all. I have excess skin, but am living with it w/o issue. 

So i just turned 19 and im like 5'1 and i weigh probably 314 witch is sad. I have a bottom stomach witch is the biggest part of my body ! Ive tried walking, to many diets and nothing has worked for me ! I eat lots of baked foods and salads but its like i get zero results! I have noticed the top of my stomach go in but my bottom stomach has stayed the same since i was in the 3rd grade ! I was supposed to have surgery to remove it but i was scared I would get juged even more when i was that age so I didn't get it ! I wish i had ! It gets in the way of a lot of things, i dont even like to go in public because of it ! I cant get the clothes i like because im trying to hide it. I hate it ! It makes my back hurt and i cant walk for long periods of time because my feet hurt like crazy im just so big! When one glance i dont look like 300 pounds but believe me i am! I just want to know what i should do! and what kinda of surgery i should get because thats my last option and once i get it off ut will NEVER come back ! 

With all the family drama and new job stress, I haven't posted or even come to OH in about a month. Luckily, I think it is all starting to calm down. During the month I haven't focused on weight loss at all. I just kept on maintaining. But it is time to get back to it and lose those last 20 pounds.
