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

I have been over weight since I injured my back when I was 21 years old. I was very athletic until surgeries put many physical restrictions on me. I have struggled for years with my weight. I am so excited to be getting bypass in two weeks!

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

The feeling that people view an overweight person as lazy. I was treated differently when I was thin

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 had bypass on Feb 20th . I am buying jeans in the regular sized section!!
