Obesity & Me

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

I have had a battle with food and weight for over 20 yrs now. Its been my best friend when I am broken hearted and its been my worst enemy when I am trying to feel good about my body. We have this love hate relationship which I know almost all overweight people will say.

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

The worst thing about being overweight is knowing I did this to myself. To realize I have lost control of something theoretically I SHOULD have control over. There is this constant fear of health issues associated with obesity that I will end up with if I don't do something now.

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 am in the process of getting my insurance to approve my surgery and doing all my pre-op work...fun :/
