Obesity & Me

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

I have been heavy since I was 23. Before that was only a few pounds over weight. Every diet made it worse, undiagnosed illnesses made it impossible to follow a typical diet and succeed.

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

Trapped by my body to the point of non-mobile. Living nightmare, add in seriously ill for a very long time. I was functional until Jan. 10, 2012. Now disabled.

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 want to be able to walk again.
