    Hi, I'm Emily. Best of luck on your surgery today. I had mine in August and it is the best thing I ever did for myself. I'll keep you in my prayers today.

Hey Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Vickie Osenbaugh and i am a dainty 283 lbs..  I have not always been obese, but i have struggled with my weight for most of my life.  the last 13 years of my life i have been obese.  i am a mother of  three and a grandmother fo two.  Todd (my husband) and I have 4 dogs and 1 lousy cat.  Yes I know I will get booed by some cat people, but so be it.  I am hoping to find a place to get and give the support that I need and give support that others need.  Humor along the way is wonderful.  i am 56 years old and right now I feel like I am 75 because of all my health issues.  I hope that getting some of the weight off will help take care of a lot of that.  So here I am, hoping to share my journey with you.  Thank you for having me.

My Story

my name is vickie and i weigh 280 lbs. talking about feeling ashamed. well, i have had enough.  i had trouble with my weight off and on ever since puberty, but never like this.  i entered water aerobics and tried to diet, lost nada.  i entered a gym and did the same with diet, lost about 25 lbs and firmed up quite nicely thank you. alas, i soon gained the weight back and then some.  i went to my shrink, a md, about 14 years later and he put me on a diet. i weighed in weekly and i lost about 100 lbs. i started school and what with stress etc.,,, you know it, i gained it all back.  i waited about a year and a half and started back using the shrink, bless his soul, but have been unsuccessful.  i really want to lose weight.  my husband is not interested in my sexually anymore and this just about kills me.  i quess i can't blame him really.  i can't play with my grandkids like i used to and i sure do want to.  i have had to have total knee replacement  on both knees and the results aren't exactly stellar, probably because i weigh too much and because i don't exercise like i should.  i'm trying to be really honest here.  my life is one big bag of shame, but i am extremely hopeful about the surgery. i am willing to do what it takes to make this a success. i don't have an initial appointment until nov 25, but i plan on starting support groups the next time they have them. i am also going to try and lose 15 lbs by the time of the surgery.  i wish all of you well, lets enjoy the journey.
