Extreme Sadness over my weight

I've always wondered what it was like to be skinny or how I would feel. Maybe guys would actually like me and treat me with respect. I have been to restaurants where they have kicked me out because I was too fat. People claim that it is not so bad to be fat, but they are wrong. Most people giving me advice are skinny. They don't know what it is like. I wish they could understand. I wish someone would understand my pain......for once.

Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc?s gastric bypass stapler may have left many with injuries that include staple line disruption, infection, and other serious complications, even death, following gastric bypass surgery. This particular stapler is likelier than most to misfire versus others on the market, causing significant injury to patients that also include bleeding, dehiscence (separation of areas that are stitched or stapled together), anastomotic leakage, hernia, hemorrhage, leaks from staple lines, sepsis, and re-operation. This site has some good information and options:

I hear you. The pain, sadness, and depression that comes along with being morbidly obese can feel worse than a terminal illness. In a way, it is. It takes so much mental energy to feel good about yourself when you are too big. And even then I am unable to fool myself even though the world may believe my smile and cheerful attitude.

Some days I wish that I didn't wake up. That is one of the reasons I am considering gastric bypass surgery. The risks do not outweigh my current reality.
