Multiple approaches: At the weight your describe you might need to approach the weight from multiple approaches - diet, exercise and discussing with you regular doctor whether you are a candidate for gastric bypass surgery, and if not, how you can become a suitable candidate for same. Your psychiatrist will need to be part of this discussion with you your doctor as he/she will need to help you avoid certain meds.
