Obesity & Me

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

Well this story isnt a new one ive probably have the same as many, but growing up i was always big but my big started to become bigger. Ive tried pills and diets but nthing ever seemed to help. I was always picked on by girls and boys and being from a really poor single parent home didnt help, my low self esteem wasnt helping. None of my friends had the same issue... Thiss over everything made me feel like a Huge outcast. I was always and still am very self consious, a problem i seemed to share with nobody elese so alone i would medicate; Marijauna.

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

I didnt feel comfortable in my own skin i felt i looked a certain way untill i looked at mirror or pictures, I was huge like stupid big. Thats when i was just embarressed i just stoped going places all together,
