Obesity & Me

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

I am an emotional eater. When I see something I like I eat it. I traveled for my job so most of my meals were in restaurants. I was too lazy and unmotivated, to stick with other weight loss plans.

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

Co-morbidities, diabetes, hypertension, varicose veins, low self esteem, bad attitude (I was always angry and mean).

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

Too soon to tell at the moment, I am only 4 days post-op. I am already having a better mood and seeing a decline in my BP and BS.
