Obesity & Me

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

Before Surgery my eating habits were out of control. I ate cos I was happy, I ate cos I was sad, I ate when friends called, basicly my life was based around food. Hitting 273.8 lbs at my highest weight, i said enough is enough now do something about it. 3 years of research I found my Surgeon Dr Sergio Quinones at the Santa Fe Clinic in Mexico.

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

Being overweight restricts everything I do. I cant run and play with my children. I struggled putting on shoes and socks, Having a Shower felt like a chore ! Sitting on planes is a nightmare, and going to the fun fair I cant go on anything. I avoid going out to town with friends because I am always ` the fat one `

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