Obesity & Me

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

I really had no problem with my weight issues. I am happy just the way I am but once I started having medical problems caused by my weight issues, I had to make a change. Ofcourse like every other person I've tried all the quick weight loss diets, crash diets , taebo & zumba. Not saying exercise doesn't work, it really does but the commitment was lacking and I lose interest and start eating my favorite foods again ICE CREAM...LOL.

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

The worst thing for me being over weight is now i've noticed that my back hurts, snoring, tossing and turning at night. uncomfortable under garments and i can't cross my legs!

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 haven't had surgery yet but I'm approved by insurance just waiting to get a surgery date from my surgeons office.
