Obesity & Me

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.

I would overeat even when I was not hungry. I always felt guilty when I ate.

What was (is) the worst thing about being overweight?

Standing out in a crowd of people. And not in a good way.

If you have had weight loss surgery already, what things do you most enjoy doing now that you weren't able to do before?

Not having to think about things like I did before. I don't think about where I am going to park at the mall, so I don't have to walk too far. I don't think about where I will sit when I go to an event because I feel so tired and uncomfortable to walk up bleachers etc. I like being able to go into any store and buy off the rack. I like to just blend in a crowd.
