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

I was in weight watchers at 9 and thousands of diets after that! At one point I managed to lose 125 pounds through exercise and starvation ie., atkins and keep it off for about 10 years. I am now the biggest I have ever been at 247, and scared I will weight 300 pounds if I dont do something soon. So I began my journey on 10/27/11 at an informational session and scheduled for surgery on 2/23/12. Excited & scared.

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

Low self esteem, uncomfortable physically, feeling ugly.

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