Obesity & Me

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

Been overweight since I was 8 years old. First diet at Weight Watchers @ 10 yrs old, along with my mom.

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

Knowing that I could do much more with my self and my life but doing nothing because my weight held me back. Not attending events because I didn't want anyone to see me combined with the complete lack of energy to complete projects and chores because of the weight and time wasted due to over eating.

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'm waiting for insurance approval. Hoping for surgery in late Feb 2012
