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

I started this journey 8 years ago. I lost 2 sizes down when I was pregnant with my daughter. Putting me in a size 20. Now as of 5/1/2012 I am a size 28 and 310 lbs. I am in severe pain all the time. I breathe heavy and it is hard to stay clean with good hygiene if you know what I mean there. I can't run and play with my 8 yr old daughter. I don't really wear stylish clothes because OMAR does not make stylish clothes. I sleep alot and have no energy.

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

Personal hygiene and tying my shoes.

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