Obesity & Me

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

I tried every diet there is known to man and they all worked till it was time to eat real food again and then it came back.I had diebetis, was on 4 shots a day, high blood pressure, high cholestoral, My knees hurt and my hips hurt couldn;t walk more than a half block before i had to stop and rest. I was a snacker of sweets I loved to bake . I never ate 2 plates of food or 2 sandwiches just ate the wrong things. I always looked like i was due to give birth in a short body.

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

To me the worst thing about being over weight was on 4 shots a day and out of breath, and not being able to always find clothes to fit.

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

Since my surgery i am no longer on anything but vitimins and can walk as long as I want without having pain.
