    Even if you got the surgery, you'd still have to keep up the lifestyle changes. If your willpower failed later on to such a terrible extent, you'd manage to put the weight back on even after surgery, and then have to deal with any complications on top of that.

    You're doing a great job already! Keep it up!

    Im sorry. That sucks.. it really does. I have had the sleeve and am greatful everyday for it. I am only 22 as well. But Ive lost 45lbs since April with the help of my sleeve. You have done it ALL ON YOUR OWN! That is amazing!!! You can do this. With or without the sleeve!

    I don't agree with non-essential surgery and you have shown yourself as well as them that you are obviously very capable of losing the weight yourself so please be happy with the new opportunity this decision has given you to be whole and not restricted by a bariatric diet or worse, possible serious complications for the rest of your long life! You'll soon kick the extra pounds and be so pleased you did it naturally. Good luck :-)
