Gastric Bypass, Lap Band Surgery and the Like.

This is something I have thought about for a while, but I still have doubts about me sticking to the meal plan. I have always enjoyed food so I would really hate to not to be able to do that anymore. While I can lose weight by diet and exercise it is a slow process because of arthritis and back problems, then last year arthritis hit my left knee so I get suprats injections. The first set of three shots didn't last the 6 months it was supposed to so now I am in the process of getting 5 shots a week apart in hopes this will make it to 6 months, I had to wait 5 weeks to get the next shots so u bet it was an uncomfortable 5 weeks. I told the Doc if it didn't make 6 months I wasn't going to do this again and that I would go back to my regular pain management Doc to use what he was using (his clinic dosen't use suprats so I went somewhere else to give it a try and my regular pain Doc knew before I did this). I need knee surgery but no one will do it cause I am 50 pounds to heavy and diabetic. I have no idea what to do at this point except try to lose it the normal way and hope for the best.
