Welcome! My name is Kara, I am 32, single, living in the suburbs of chicago, working as the director of a nonprofit health care program. Like so many other folsk that elect to pursue WLS, I have battled my weight, and my disordered relationship with food, for many years. I have lost and gained 40-80 pounds on three different occasions, becoming more disheartened with each lapse back into comfort eating and obesity. After lots of help, both profession and "self" directed, I think, paradoxically, that I am actually now healthy enough mentally to be successful physically. WLS is a tool that I am using to get where I want to be, so my thirties and forties (and beyond) can be about more than food and weight.
