Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
my weight was always a problem from the start.. and tru childhood it was awful with all of the name calling that my peers did to me... i just could never lose and my highest was at 265/270 and that is when i decided that i had to do something!
