Total Pounds Lost: 95
Testimonials: My story I went to OCC at 41 years old. I was disabled from lupus, already had a knee replacement and couldn’t walk more than 100 ft. Autoimmune diseases ruined my life. I could barely do things like grocery shopping or a day out with my family. I was in pain every day. From the time my feet hit the floor in the morning till long after I went to bed, I was in pain. All of my joints hurt. I had gained 80 pounds on Prednisone for my condition. I took a leap of faith and traveled to OCC hoping to lose 50 pounds in a year. I am just under a year out and have lost 95 pounds. I went from a size 18 to a size 4. I am below my OCC goal, but the best part is OCC gave me my life back. I am no longer in pain. My feet look like feet and not balloons ready to pop. I actually lost a shoe size. I received better care at OCC than I ever have in the US. I still have support from the OCC including their amazing nutritionist. I made the best of friends with the support of my “sleeve sisters”. I can do the things I want to do now. I have energy and I sleep better. I eat what I want in small portions but I’m satisfied. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. I didn’t have to go through those years of pain. OCC saved my life.
