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

i wasnt a heavy child.. i was actually a very thin child... i went through alot of child abuse as a preteen and as a teenager i became depressed and eat my way through that.. and by the time i was 15 i weighed 200lbs. and buy the time i was 18 i weighted 250 lbs... i always ate my way through depression. even recently i did it too.. by the time i was 27 i weghed just a little under 300lbs..

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

ugh the worst thing that was (and still is to me) is buying clothes and being comfortable in my own skin!

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 had gastric bypass on october 28, 2008. i lost weight slowly! first week it was only 7lbs, a month i was only down 20 lbs and 10 months later i was only down 69 lbs..... thats it! i had a baby almost 2 years after and i only gaind 6 lbs and lost it immediately... starting in the late summer of 2011 my marriage to a left hand turn and alot of series of events happened. i yet again found myself depressed and yup u guessed it i started to eat my way through it again, and now i weigh 250 lbs again.. which is making me more depressed! i am now looking for a surgeon ( i just moved out of state) to do a revison... i do feel this time i have more of a will for the fact that i failed the first time.... there was 5 of us that had the surgery (one including my husband) and i am the only one that has gained it all back... my husband looks amazing i am gunna post a before and after pic of him...its depressing to see them all looking amazing and i am a fat sow again...
