Is it okay for me to have weight loss surgery?

I am 15 years old and weigh 311 pounds, my height is 5' 10

I have tried dieting, and it is working. but I just get soo impatient!!!
I never want to go to school and I suffer from Major Depression Disorder and Social Anxiety and some blood pressure disorder which im not being treated for.

I wanted to know if it is okay for me to atleast have a lap band surgery?

Some doctors say its okay but others say its not, if I can what site can I go to to find a specific doctor?
No people!
im not talking about bypass surgery, im talking about the LAP BAND surgery

Nothing is being cut, only a special band is being place on my stomach. My mom says she supports me if I go throught it.
I also already lost 14 pounds since February,
but I get soo frustrated!! it seems like its soo little loss, and I don't even notice a change in my pants, yes they feel looser, but my t-shirt size is sooo frustrating!

I already tried killing myself 3 times,

I know that I am extremely obese, and all my doctor ever tells me is "your BMI looks to be high" and that's it! I need to know what questions I NEED to ask uin order for him to give me a bit more info on this Lap-band surgery I've been looking at now for about 1 year.

Would my insurance cover weight loss surgery?

I am 20 years old and I weigh 215lbs and my BMI is calculated to be 38.1. I was wondering if my insurance would cover a type of surgery for weight loss. I have Tricare under my dad's name, and I was hoping that they would cover a procedure such as the lap band surgery. So if anyone out there knows a answer, please give me one.
I have also been exercising on a regular basis and eating non-fatening foods. I am still gaining weight.
