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

I have been overweight for most of my life. I am not happy with being overweight I am very self conscience. I hate shopping for clothes, it is a pain in the backside. Besides that my health is suffering from this. I have HBP, high cholesterol. hypothyroid, and back problems.

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

Not fitting into booths when I go out to eat. When flying making sure I do not place my arms to close to someone's seat.

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

My surgery date is March 26th 2012, I am excited to be doing this.
