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

I'm 31 years old and I have struggled with my weight right out of high school. I wanted to follow my parents footsteps and marry by 21 and start a family unfortunately I ended up married at 20 divorced at 22. I gained a sever amount of weight because I was so depressed. At the age of 30 I found myself sad depressed at weighing in at 393 my highest weight ever. That's when I learned about gastric sleeve and the rest is history :)

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

To me the worst thing about being overweight was that I was a prisoner of my own body. I didn't want to socialize. I hated going out. I'd always stay home and eat my pain away.

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 enjoy socializing. Hanging out with friends. Going to the movies and spending time with my fiancé.
