Perhaps you need to spend some time deciding what it is that you want. Going thru with weight loss surgery when you aren't positive this is what you want to do could be a change you are not truly prepared for and will regret later.

If you are overweight breast implants are not a good idea until you are smaller. You lose a lot in the breast when dieting because they are mostly fat. Slow down and make good choices.

Sounds to me like your not ready to make any decisions one way or the other right now. Only you can decide if having gastric bypass surgery is the tool you need to be able to fight your battle with obesity.

I agree with everyone else. Perhaps you better wait to have surgery because it sounds like you aren't doing this for you and you are worried about what your parents think. Don't do it before you are ready or most likely it won't be successful.

Marybeth, If you parents won't let you have weight loss surgery to improve your health, they certainly are NOT going to let you have implants. Focus right now on losing the weight and after you are at goal weight, then reflect back on the breast implants. The implants will not look right if you are overweight. They will not be in proportion with your body. Hon, don't overload your mind. Stay focused on trying to let your parents give you the gift of losing weight first. I have been following your posts and don't jump the gun here.

Regardless of which surgery you decide to have, if you take your parents to a seminar (or something similar for the other surgery), they will understand it a lot better, I am not young, I'm 33 and my mom was scared about me having surgery, but after she attended a seminar with me it put her mind at ease about it since she's older and used to hearing the horror stories about WLS. Good luck in whatever you decide to do!
