Age: 39
Total Pounds Lost: 90
In my early twenties I gained about a hundred pounds due to a medication I was prescribed. Even though I was able to lose most of the weight after stopping the medication, I started gaining it back every time work or school would become stressful or difficult. I would diet intensely for a several months and lose some weight, but it always came back. Finally, in early 2023 I topped 225 after gaining an additional 25 pounds in about six months. I knew something needed to change. A family member told me about OCC and I signed up. I lost about 25 pounds on the pre-op diet and learned quite a bit about healthy eating and good food choices in the process. Knowledge and skills that I'm still putting to work post-surgery. My surgical procedure was easy, the facility was immaculate, professional in all regards, and the staff was kind and compassionate. Now, six months later I've lost an additional 60 pounds and am back to my high school weight of 140 pounds. I exercise daily, make good food choices, and stay away from unhealthy foods like sugar, processed carbs, and starches. Thanks OCC!
