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

I love food. But have learned food can be my enemy or my friend! Before learning of surgery I would eat constantly. I would make bad decisions and constantly snacking. When I would get bored or depressed I would eat.

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

The worst thing about being overweight is I can't hardly do anything with my children. I hate being this big. I can barely walk.

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

Haven't had surgery yet. I have it in two days Feb. 15th 2012
