Name one thing that finally pushed you to have weight loss surgery (I realize there may be many, but try to keep your answer to one)  I saw a graphic on a web site.  It was a figure of a person with arrows pointing to the different parts of the body with the different comorbidities named.  It said cured or reduced after each one (with WLS)

1. Name one thing that finally pushed you to have weight loss surgery (I realize there may be many, but try to keep your answer to one) Sorry, I have 3 that happened around the same time...Got a Wii Fit for Mothers Day and it told me I was over the weight limit (SOOO dissapointing!!), I was at picture day at DD's dance studio and had to spend the evening looking at myself in a wall of floor to ceiling mirrors, and the clincher was at my physical, when I was told I was boarderline diabetic.
2. Have you ever seen a tornado? No
3. Harry Potter: yes or no? Abso-freakin-lutely!!!  I can't wait for the next movie!! 
4. Have you ever eaten pet food? EWWWWWW, no!!!!  How did it taste?
5. Did you ever cheat on a test? Yes...it was the only way I could pass Statistics in college   Did you get caught? No, thank goodness!!

Aww, Statistics, yuck! I took this class cause I needed it for my major and for the school I was transfering to. I bare skimmed though (Then I went off and changed my mind about schools and majors and now it counts as...get this....an elective!! Ugh, I would have taken almost anything in the world other than Statistics if I knew it was going to be just an elective.

1. Name one thing that finally pushed you to have weight loss surgery? Among many other reasons, health concerns topped the list. I'm relatively healthy, but the 100 extra pounds put me at increased risk for diabetes. My aunt had diabetes so severely that she was unable to have chemo to fight off cancer and she passed away. I take after her a lot genetically and didn't want to be as high risk for diabetes so the excess weight had to GO.
2. Have you ever seen a tornado?  No, but I've seen a baby-poop green "tornado sky" as my mother (who's from the midwest) described it. Pretty eerie.
3. Harry Potter: yes or no? Yes. Brilliant storytelling.
4. Have you ever eaten pet food?  How did it taste?  I ate dry cat food once on a dare from my brother when I was about 4 years old. I remember it being very crunchy and quasi-chicken flavored. To this day, I still tease him about having the best teeth out of my siblings! 
5. Did you ever cheat on a test?  Did you get caught? Nope.
   

1. Name one thing that finally pushed you to have weight loss surgery (I realize there may be many, but try to keep your answer to one) I never would say anything "pushed" me to it, it was sort of handed to me, but my desire to have it done was being tired of not living to my fullest.
2. Have you ever seen a tornado? No, thank goodness. All we have are dirt devils.
3. Harry Potter: yes or no? YES!
4. Have you ever eaten pet food? How did it taste? I probably ate a piece of dry dog food as a kid, I don't remember it being bad.
