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

Weight controlled me - food controlled me! It is where I comforted myself & where I found comfort during those trying times!

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

Not being able to be looked at like I was a real person... people are so mean - they criticize & judge without even opening their mouth!

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 was banded in May 2004 - in 2011, my band slipped & I needed a revision. I got a revision January 2012 to a sleeve... I love to exercise! Move around - not be noticed in a crowd
