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

I am 52 years old I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. I tried many different diets which didn't work. I am shy and self consciousness aboutmy size.

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

When I was younger I skied sky dived hiked even though I was over weight. But as I have gotten older my health has gotten worse I have high blood pressure, my joints hurt all the time. I am a nurse and found it hard to do my job. I had such back hip and knee pain.

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 just received my surgery date today. It's April 2, I am so excited and nervous.
