I went through some similar stuff. I ended up doing a gasyric bypass in 2007. Good choice then, not so much now. Not to mention i gained 1/2 back. Now that i use wearable nutrition i'm doing so much better.
Take care and i hope your journey is something you can learn more about you.
Thank you for the kind words. And I am glad that you too have taken steps to obtain a better, healthier life. Good luck to you.
