For your reassurance no real names will be used.

• How long have you been obese? for as long as I can remember

• What is your opinion on how society treats the obese? like with anything else it depends on how obese you are to how you are treated, I have been through the full thing. To a point you will be execpted past that point you are made fun of then after that people tend to pretend you are not there.

• How does being obese make you feel? Sad, angry, depressed

• Have you or are you planning on having weight lose surgery? I had the surgery 7 years ago, I lost a lot then gained almost 100lbs back because I didnt change my behavior. Now that I have changed my behavior I have lost that 100 pluss some extra and still working hard to lose the rest.
• I agree with Mike that most people fail horribly from the surgery. I know I did. and other people I know have also. It takes hard work and comitment to lose weight and keep it off, in most cases people think the surgery will be an easy fix and thats just not so.
