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

I have always felt like being thin and wearing normal size clothing was a elite club I could never belong to. Ihad the lap band for 10 plus years and was not sucessful. I finally am seeing the sleeve work and I feel like I have been set free. I dont feel the stress walking by clothing stores, I feel excited that soon I will be able to shop in these stores.

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

Being stuck inside myself and being judged by people who dont like fat people.

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

Well I threw up with every meal with the Lap band, so I enjoy eatting a meal and it not coming back up. I also enjoy that I become full and dont feel the stress as much.
