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

I had been heavy my whole life...ever since I was 10 or 11. Battling my weight has always been a struggle and I would yo-yo losing and gaining weight. Paying for weight loss programs and I would only loose 20-30 pounds then I would stall even though I would only eat x-amount of calories and exercise for x-amount of minutes every single day with no breaks.

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

The worst things about being overweight are: buying clothes, riding a bike, playing with my kids, and most of all not being able to be more intimate with my husband.

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 have had surgery and the things I enjoy doing now are first and foremost being intimate with my husband...he is my huge supporter of having the surgery. I can also go out and play with my kids without getting too tired.
