What's your point, I don't understand. As a group we're saying that surgery shouldn't be an option for you until you've spent at least 2 years counting calories, eating right and exercising, by then you'll have lost so much weight surgery will be pointless.
You could take the "easy" way out and get surgery and have the pain, possible infection, possible death and never learn to eat right and exercise and then you can have the wonderful experience of gaining it all right back with the lifelong bad habits you have acquired.

Just a thought...
