Obesity & Me

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

I to had a high BMI 49. I had Rouex-y Oct. 4 2010 lost 115 lbs. regained 10lbs but on track again! I still feel same during periods though that's normal ; ) I struggled w eating to much of the wrong things then too! I think I have it under control now but WLS is a lifetime Journey...I call mine "Butterful Journey"...I have depression+ Dx's YES it should work & you can pass psych evaluations too! Mental Illness doesn't go away it just improves & we learn to deal better...Especially IF I take time for ME by exercising even walking...I get mad at my self when I can't find time for ME!

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

Hard time enjoying youngest sons play times & struggling to put seatbelt on..NO energy & VERY ill

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

Buying clothes in REGULAR store not plus size shops...Playing with sons...Getting home & life organized again! I weigh less than I did 18 yrs ago when I gave birth to oldest some...Soon will be attending 25th class reunion & psyched!
