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

All I can say is that I am and have always been a very emotional eater. You would have never known that if you weren't around me everyday. I have always been an active person, but life just got the best of me.

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

Not being able to enjoy life with my son.

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

Not having to go to a specialty store to buy anything to wear, being able to get on the rides at carnivals, and my son being able to put his arms all the way around me and give me a true hug.
