I am considering bariatric surgery after years of not losing weight, despite my best eforts. I am tired of being shunned and made fun of. I am tired of not fitting in seats in buses and airplanes. Being treated liek a second class citizen by many people. I know this operation is not easy but I would like to know how difficult and painful it is? Are ther a lot of side effects after the surgery? How long is the recovery process?

If anyone has any any personal experiences, taht would be great! Please share them here

thank you
