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

I was a hot mess. I was unable to breathe, not getting enough sleep, was falling asleep at work in the afternoons and was miserable. I decided that I didn't want to be dead at 40 and I was 37 when I had this realization. I could not control my eating and I ate for everything.

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

All of it. My thighs rubbing together, my pants not fitting, not being comfortable in my own skin.

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

Lets see crossing my legs, working out, not being so sad or afraid. I'm able to run around at work and not fall asleep at 1 p.m. my quality of life is soooo much better,
