Try exercising and dieting for a bit more. The band has some very bad side effects on your health in the future. before deciding on it find and talk to other people who had the surgery.

try dieting before surgery, but don't let your friend effect changes you want to make with your body. you need to lose weight. just because your friend says your perfect, dont let that keep you from losing. good luck!
