If you aren't feeling good about it, don't do it. I have had weight problems myself, and I have noticed that when I attach a number to my goals it makes it harder for me to accomplish them. I just focus on being healthy, and while I am still overweight, I feel like the goals I set for myself when I am focusing on the health factor rather than the numbers on the scale are much easier to obtain. Then the weight comes off on it's own.
I can't tell you what to do (despite my don't do it comment, lol), but if I were you, I would keep up with the weightloss surgery research, but continue to try other alternatives. If one day surgery felt like a good fit, then I would consider it seriously. But surgery is such a serious thing, so you don't want to go into it when you don't feel good about it. I know two people that have had it done recently, and both of them struggled with getting the surgery and researched it for a VERY long time before they went through with it. It's okay to take your time. It's responsible to take your time, in fact. The surgery isn't the end all and be all of weightloss, there is so much more you have to do and so many more restrictions on you for the rest of your life after you get it.
Good luck with whatever you decide. Just make sure it's something you feel good about!
