Obesity & Me

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

I am really disappointed in myself that my weight has got out of hand. I have tried diets gyms and exercise but the weight always comes back. I fill like I am sitting around doing nothing watching life go on with out me. I know there are things that my husband would do and would enjoy and my weight is holding us back. I felt like I was stuck with this curse and there was no REAL help. I have started the journey to have wls and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnell.

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

The health issues I have that I know I could control without all this weight. Also going places like amusement parks and being to heavy for the ride. I am ashamed to eat around ppl and i am just not comfortable in this body. Its not just about looks my health is bad when it could be better. I am sticking my fingers all the time and taking 4 shots a day.

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

Surgery went great. I am down from 278.6 to 250.3. No insulin since surgery and I feel great!!!!! I love Dr. Chaudhari and his team and I highly recommend them. My whole life has changed!!!!
