Anyone wish that they did not have WLS?

I am over 7yrs post-op. I weighed 330lbs and now weigh 155lbs. I now find that my life is worse than before I had the surgery. I have a lot more problems with depression, anxiety, insomnia, smoking and alcoholism. I did have psychiatric problems before I had the surgery, but not the addictions. I also have more back and neck pain, which I believe might be related to the excess skin. I am also going to see my doctor about possibly having an ulcer. I am looking for doctors/specialists who might be helpful in giving advice and help with this matter. I went from being a professional who made about $40,000 a year to someone who now has to live with a family member and makes minimum wage with no health insurance.
