Get a 2nd opinion: before even considering any gastric bypass surgery! For one thing, they want you to lose weight first before it can be done. Secondly, if you aren't careful you may have poor nutrient absorption after the surgery that can compromise your health longterm in many ways. You are too young & can benefit more from speaking to your doctor, and getting a 2nd opinion, and work with him/her to lose weight.
