Weight Loss Surgery/Mental Illness

I am in the process of writing a magazine article that addresses the issue of having weight loss surgery when you have a mental illness. After my own experience, and after having heard from others who share similar experiences, I decided it is something that needs attention. If you would like to share your experience with me, please message me or email me at [email protected] (don't post, for confidentiality reasons). I will NOT divulge names though I may share your experience in an anonymous way.
