Why do you want to get your stomach stapled? That is a very extreme procedure. Why not try to lose weight more naturally first?

Sweet, I understand that you feel like you've been there, done that, but you are still so young and have the ability to bounce back and develop new habits. Even if you had the stapling, you would have to learn new ways to eat or all the weight would come back...and believe me it will. My heart goes out to you because it is so hard at that age....I'm not so far away myself that I cannot remember. I'm 22 years old and although I didn't gain all my extra weight until I hit my twentys. I am currently 250lbs and I am battling. Maybe you just need a fresh motivation. Try finding a motivational buddy, a weightloss support group of some kind, or create a website to record your progress.
I've actually made the last suggestions to help me. I made a website to record my weightloss and hopefully, my success as well. Check out my profile for the web address if you want to visit it.
Just some suggestions. I don't want you to feel as though you are alone on this. Keep your spirits up and check out the weightloss support area on this board. We have some wonderful people there and some great challenges.
Take Care.
