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

i hid my weight concerns and worries with food and comedy. I would make fat jokes about myself

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

no energy or strength. I had to take several breaks while playing with my kids. I couldnt shop for clothes cuz i felt embarrass. I hid behind food and isolated myself with ppl bigger than me so I wouldnt feel so 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?

I enjoy walking everday 4-5 miles daily. I can play at the park with my kids and play games. I joined a gym and go 3 times a wk. I have energy, strength and feel more motivated to stay fit
