Obesity & Me

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

I have been battling with obesity since i was a little girl. I have tried every type of diet imaginable, and have gotten long term results. I learned about bariatric surgery through one of my cousin's who had the gastric sleeve performed. Aside from her looking great she has more energy and has a healthier happier lifestyle than she had ever had.

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

The worst thing about being overweight is feeling like all people see is that. Feeling like you are judged as lazy, and a "big eater". Feeling so poorly about yourself and feeling like you have no control over your eating habits.

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 havent had my surgery yet.
