Obesity & Me

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

im only 25 but i have been heavy for as long as i can remember and it hasnt been fun i have tried about 10 different programs like weight watchers jenny craig numerous diet pills la weight loss and been to see so many nutritionists i lost 5 lbs here 10there but the most i ever lost was 50lbs but gained it all back. so ive lost 26 lbs so far and im feeling good about it and im going to stick with this and have my surgery to have the permenent solution.

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

the worst thing for me being over weight is that im the heaviest person in my family and i have 3 nieces 1s 14 1s 4 and 1s 3 and i cant play with them the way i want to i cant get on the floor and do a puzzle or run around the back yard and play tag and it kills me.

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

i love playing with my nieces now i can carry them around and play on the floor its simple stuff but it makes a big difference.
