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

I have always been overweight it has affected the way I feel in public, what I can do with my children, and my desire to wear nice clothes, makeup....I looked at myself in the mirror as the fat girl and I broke down when I took a flight and needed an extender then couldn't fit into a rollercoaster seat. My physical and mental state stayed up and down.

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

The feeling that I wasn't good enough and the feeling or my health deminishing and I am only 32.

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 had the lap band surgery without going into a lot of detail I gained weight from it, had health issues...it was bad that was five years ago. This past Monday 2/4/13 I had conversion to RNY had complications bdecause of the band but so far so good a lot of emotional feelings but looking forward to the future similar stories please share everybody keeps telling me how WLS is bad for you I need encouragement!
