I’ve struggled with obesity for most of my adult life. It wasn’t always that way though. I was actually very active as a young adult, playing netball 2-3 times a week and enjoying the gym a couple of times. Things I loved doing when my body was able to do them. A knee injury put a halt to my netball life and everything else spiralled out of control from there until one day I woke up and realised I was morbidly obese and very inactive. The decision to have surgery was by no means an easy one. In fact, the anxiety around that decision almost stopped me from making it.
