Does anyone not feel healthy post op?

I just read a post on the message board that has me a bit rattled...A post op person posted this...'So, just for the record, this is not a cosmetic surgery. Nobody said you would look better than before and if your weight didn't cause health problems, there's no garauntee that losing it will help you FEEL better either.' This really upsets me as I have a BMI of 42 with NO health problems other than being overweight. I am doing this to feel better at a lighter weight, be healthier, avoid weight related health problems and look better as a result. Do many of you not feel healthy post op? Do you look ravaged? I need to know honestly... I dont want to create health problems for myself with this surgery. I am sorry that with all the positive posts I am jumping on this one in particular, but I have been looking for negatives.
