Obesity & Me

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

I tried every diet under the sun!!! I can not remember a time I wasn't on a diet. I would lose weight only to regain. When I was losing, I felt great. When I was gaining, I felt miserable. I have PCOS and felt that was the reason I could not maintain any weight loss.

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

The worst thing about being overweight was being in places and situation where my size was not acceptable. Like air planes, amusement parks, beaches, etc. People saying things like, "you have a pretty face, but you need to lose weight" Going to the doctors and being weighed.

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

Everything!!!! Everything is more enjoyable. I have no restrictions!!!
