Am I too young for a gastric bypass or other weight loss surgeries?

Question

I'm 22 years old and a recent mom. I've always struggled with confidence because I was curvy from puberty and up. But I didn't gain a lot of weight until recently. I have hypothyroidism and PCOS and gained a lot of weight when I was 18-19 years old. I went from a size 13 to a size 16. And now I'm a size 18. 
I weigh 230 lbs & I'm 5'4
So that makes my BMI 39.5...
Online it says BMI of 40 is a prerequisite and that is severely obese. 
I don't feel severely obese but I just don't want to be plus size anymore. 😔
I was 230 before and lost weight by running and dieting and got down to 190 but plateaued. 
This is me after having my baby. What do you think? Should I just try to lose weight naturally again? (My $300 running shoes don't fit anymore!!)

Answer

Try to do it naturally, talk to an Endo about your PCOS and try getting on metformin. I know you're feeling frustrated but you should maybe try do do it naturally for a while because it's what's healthiest for your body.

Answer

I was 245 and 5'6 and got down to 160 by going gluten free, drinking the Master Cleanse and daily workouts. BUT, I know PCOS makes it difficult to lose weight. Whatever you want to do, but it couldn't hurt to try losing it naturally for about 6 months and in that mean time save up.  If you lose some weight, use that money to buy new wardrobe. If you don't feel you've lost enough, then continue with saving for the surgery. Hope everything works out for you ♡
