u/Key-Limek

I (female) have been overweight my entire life and despite my best efforts to loose weight, I’ve failed tremendously. Currently, at 19 years old at 5’3, I weigh ~110kg.

It has reached a point where I am seriously considering surgery to help me. However, I am unsure of whether I should get liposuction as a way to immediately help, or a gastric bypass for more long-term maintenance.

Liposuction
Obviously, I’d love the instant fat loss and body contouring that liposuction would provide, however I understand that this isn’t a solution for weight-loss. I would really use it as a kick-starting mechanism as I firmly believe that once I look thinner, I’ll gain more confidence and be more motivated to stay that way.

Gastric Bypass
It is my understanding that this would be more suitable more long-term weight loss, and probably more suitable for my issues, but I thought I would seek advice anyway.

I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions regarding this matter. Thank you in advance!
