Obesity & Me

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

I had type 2 Diabetes, high Cholesterol, High blood pressure , weight related Gerd and knee problems that prevented me from Doing much exercise. I had terrible self esteem /self confidence and was constantly depressed about my weight and body image.

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

My lack of mobility due to my bad knees. My lowest point was having to rent a scooter at universal studios and at the Zoo because I just couldn’t walk that far or keep up with my family.

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 am able to Bike and Hike . I go to the gym regularly and love pound class. I walked my 1st 5k this spring and I was not the last person over the finish line !!
