Weight Loss Survey Responses

The following are Stacy T.'s responses to the Weight Loss Survey:

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

Mostly I was frustrated. I *knew* that dieting again would only make it worse.... Everytime i lost i gained it back + some.

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

Being limited physically. So many things that i love have gone by the wayside because of my weight.

How did you first find out about bariatric surgery and what were your initial impressions of it?

My wonderful General practicioner recomended it to me. I was astounded. I had never considered it! In my mind there was the old stomach stapling of the 70's and that sounded like a bad idea. Once i began to educate myself i realized that its a whole new ball game today.
