I am 41 years old and I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I have always been the heaviest person in my family. I have lost hundreds of pounds only to regain everyone of them back again. I have weighed as much as 250lbs and the smallest I have been as an adult is 160lbs. Getting the weight off isnt my problem....its KEEPING it off. I am currently waiting on insurance approval to get my surgery date set. I could go into great detail about the emotional struggles of being obese but I know every one who reads this already knows them so I will spare you the details. I came to OH because everyone here seems so supportive. Here you dont get the " if you would just diet you wouldnt need surgery" lecture or the "you dont look heavy enough to have surgery done" mentality. I am doing this for me, not to be a beauty queen, not to be a size 6...but to be healthy and to have energy and to be able to grow old without the obesity related diseases. Im nervous and excited and scared about having surgery, but I guess that is normal. So anyway, if anyone wants to drop me a line feel free. I look forward to my journey! ~~Mary~~
