Obesity & Me

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

I was overweight all my life.it got to the point that I didn't really like who I was any more.i have a great supporting family,so I decided to get the lap sleeve gastrectomy.

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

The worst thing about being obese is how I felt about myself.i felt that I didn't want to go traveling as much anymore,or do some of the strenuous things that I would have done if I was at a better weight .

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 surgery a week ago.its been hard ,but not too bad.the worst part is crushing the pills.It tastes so bad I can hardly stand it.I am down 12lbs and I feel a lot better.
