I am a new member to OH and I am so thankful to a close friend of mine that had introduced me to this program.
First of I want to say that having surgery was a very hard decision for me to make. Like many people I tried the usual diet thing, I took pills and excersized but it didnt get me anywhere.. I came to the point where I just grew tired of feeling disappointed. At times I felt like a failure.. And with a lot of time I decied that this will help me become the person I know I can be,
I'm tired of not being able to walk without stopping. Im tired of not being able walk up the stairs, when my elevator is down , without stopping inbetween floors.. Im tired of not being able to take a walk with my son because my bones hurt so much...Im tired of not being able to find something to wear that I can feel comfortable in..
I know that surgery for me is the last resort. I know It wont be easy and I have to make drastic changes. And I'm ready.
Almost a year ago I came to this site and felt inspired by the stories I have read, by the before and after photos..But at the time I didnt think this was an answer for me. I was in denial.. My only regreat is that I didnt to this before.
My friend Karen praised everyone in OH for there support. And I can only hope that my experience will be just as pleseant and helpful as hers.
Thank you all for your time in reading my story.
