I'm sure my story has a similar sound to some of yours.  If I had a dollar for every pound I lost..... and maybe another pound for every one that I've gained back.  I've tried a multitude of diets and "lifestyle changes" and yet..... here I am again.  I'm sick and tired of being tired and hurting.  All of my pain completely due to my weight.  So I'm checking into bariatric surgery.  That's the stage that I'm at.  I have an initial consultation with a doctor this Friday but I think this might be the place to find "the good the bad and the ugly" TRUTH about this subject. 
 
I'm not looking for candy coated rainbows here.  If I decide to do this I want to know what may or may not happen.  I can plan for the worst and be thrilled if it never happens.  :)  But I'd like to know what that might be.  I'm a big girl.  I can take it. 
 
I'm looking forward to asking questions and getting honest answers.  I'm excited for both and the possibility that this direction might be my final stop.
