Is it too soon to consider bypass surgery?

I'm seventeen years old - will be turning eighteen in December - and I've been overweight for several years now; I've made attempts at dieting, exercising, and have tried using Green Tea as a means of diet pills. I'm still a minor so I need to depend on my mom for diet pills - she seems reluctant to buy me anything really strong. Hence the reason why I only have used Green Tea. Before I try any form of surgery, I intend on trying a stronger diet pill - I don't see myself getting this surgery done until after I graduate high school. I have briefly spoke with my doctor about bypass - which seems to be my best option surgery wise - however I haven't sat down with a doctor about the procedure and the costs of it. I'm roughly 5'8" and I weight about 310 pounds - I've been around this weight for a while now. I can't seem to lose a lot of weight, but I can't seem to stick with a diet and exercise plan for a long period of time. I couldn't tell you why I'd feel that I'd be more enthusiastic if I were thinner, but I simply get too self conscious about my looks to work out. Now, having described my situation, I'd like to know how I should go about finding out more about my options and how much I should expect to be charged for a surgery like this. - I live near Madison, Wisconsin (United States) - I have had blood work done; no thyroid problem, my blood sugar level is pretty high, and my blood cholesterol is high - I haven't gone through any other obesity-related tests - My high weight level makes my periods less frequent, I'll get my period once every 2-4 months - My body mass index score is 47, so I'm in range for the surgery without an underlining issue What should I do at this point? Would you say it's too soon to turn to surgery for the weight loss I desire? I apologize for having such a long description.

1. As embarrassing as it may be to work out, you should still be doing. Diet and exercise WORKS. You don't have to completely go on a diet, you can eat 2,000 cals a day of healthy carbs/proteins. Also, if you have problems doing cardio, try walking an a treadmill everyday for an hour and try lifting light weights in high rep everyday working different muscle groups each day. You really shouldnt be considering gastric bypass surgery at 17. Im 17 and i can safely say the words havent been mentioned by anyone in my grade in their lives.
2. I lost weight quick using Phentremine Civ-xR, I dropped 9 pounds in 2 days, I think there still having a free trial you can find it here, http://www.justtakealook.info/loseweightovernight hope this helps,
