Would i be heavy enough at 5'8" 215 lbs to have diet drugs prescribed to help me get started losing weight?

Not good idea.: The best way to lose weight for life, is to find out how exactly you got that way in the first place. Simply, cutting calories will cause weight loss. But if you don't check the calories in foods you eat, how will you be able to do this/ If you don't figure this out, no surgery or pill will ever be enough. Lose weight cheaply, safely and sanely. Count calories.
