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

My step father put my sister and I on our first diet when I was 10 and my sister was 12, we were not over weight but he was a control freak and thought that 5 lbs that we may have been over weight needed to go. Well needless to say that started a whirl wind of yo yo dieting losing weight and gaining back more. I always tried to hide that I was miserable.

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

People's perception of overweight people first of all. I hate being fat as much as you hate seeing me fat!

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

Still waiting for my surgery.
