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

The reason I decided to have the surgery was because I had diabetes, high blood pressure and was just tired of feeling sick and tired.

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

The worst thing about being overweight was that I looked and felt horrible.

If you have had weight loss surgery already, what things do you most enjoy doing now that you weren't able to do before?

I started this journey weighing 215 lbs. I had RNY surgery almost 6 years ago. My lowest weight was 125 and was fitting into size 2 clothing. I have since gained 18 lbs and am overweight. The last 2 years I've had some pretty bad health issues. I am feeling better finally and I'm going to go back to healthy eating and exercising regularly. It is still a struggle but I do know I can get where I need to be. I no longer have high blood pressure and my diabetes has been under control since I had lost all the weight. Now I control it with diet and exercise. I would love to connect to other RNY people who are about 6 years out......anyone out there?
