Has anyone suffered from HYDRADENTITIS prior or post surgery?

I have been going through this disease for many years. For those of you not familiar with it, its a very painful experience where you have large boils/cists on the outside of your skin that pop up usually with women right before you get your monthly visitor...On average I have had to go for minor surgery at least 2x a month for the past several years. I was told by my doctor that part of the reason is because of my obesity..... The gastro bypass has been reccomended due to this as well as my obesity. Has anyone had this and had it go away due to loosing the weight? The depression alone from this is enough to kill ya... between being overwieght and in constant pain, and constant surgeries, i feel like I am always depressed. I welcome any advice or input that anyone can offer.
