I am not sure if anyone is going to see this or even respond but here goes nothing.....

I have recently have bariatric surgery. I have had issues with my weight for as long as I can remember. When I say issues though I don't mean always being big. And that is one that I have learned. When I was younger I was in shape and at a good weight. But you look at others around you and start to second guess yourself. That is when the ugly self-esteem monster rears its ugly face and for most doesn't go away. Just changes it appearance. So for me, the older that I got the more my weight became an issue. 

I would like to talk to others who have had the surgery and their experiences as well as share some of mine and get some tips or advice. I feel that there are not groups around here that really help. They talk about how great it is but I want to hear the good and the bad. 

There has got to be someone out there that knows what I am talking about.
