Obesity & Me

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

i struggled for years with obesity and the bttle of losing a few lbs then gaining twice as much it made it immposible to get to a gym i always had thatb negative voice in my head with this i feel mi msuffered depresion i was nit diaginoised but had many the same symptoms usually ending in spats of emational eating and binges

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

the feeling of everyone judging and thinking less of u the fatigue i fought day in and day out!!! and the bitterness i had towards others even loved ones unfortunaltly i let ll my frustration out on those i love the most
