Hey my names mike I'm 18 . I've bad struggles with my weight my whole life. There was a point in time when I was a freshmen I was very athletic and built but I got injured in football and it all went down hill from there ! I met my girlfriend in 2011 when I was 310 and now 2 years later I'm 411 ... I really want to lose weight but I don't have a strong mind ! My girlfriend supports me 100% ! I feel like I hold her back from living bc Im not as mobile like other teenagers. I lost my football scholarships I never had a job and don't know how to drive . My weight holds me back from living young and having dependence . I would love to get this surgery done . I just would like to know how bad the scarring is ? Or if there's any pains if so how bad :/ please any info will help thank you
