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

My journey started when I was a young girl. I have always struggled with my weight. I have tried every diet out there. I would lose some weight only to gain it back plus some. Pretty much the story of every overweight person that has struggled since childhood.

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

Everything!!! The self image, the way others perceive you and the way I perceive myself. I want to be comfortable living life.

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

My date is scheduled for March 8, 2012.
