Obesity & Me

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

I was a stress eater . When it came to work , Family or just life i would turn to eating . Food took the pain away so i thought .

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

i was on Insulin 4 shots a day, My Kidney where not doing good. i could not keep up with my 4 year old . I was so out of fit . And i was affraid that i would not be here to see my Son grow - up .

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 NO Longer take Insulin . My Dr. said that i had a 50\50 that i would still be on Insulin . Day of Surgey he took me off my fast acting Insulin . And cut mt longer acting from 100units at night to 25 units two weeks after surgey I LONGER NEED Insulin . I have more engery then i ahve had in yrs .
