When I first gained weight from clozapine I had the exact same thought, that I'd rather be ill than obese.
I still have those thoughts now to be completely honest.
But then I'll look back on old FB statuses or support threads and I'll see how unhappy and scared I was when I was ill, being in A&E and hospital all the time etc.
You can lose weight while being on the meds, its just a bit harder for us. You have to find out what works for you, food wise and exercise wise if you do any exercise.
Asking your GP for weight loss surgery is an option, but maybe you could ask her for a referral to a dietician or something?
