I don't have much of a story or not one very different from other people. I was heavy and needed to get thin. My wife had just left me and I decided not to go back to old habits. I tried weight loss programs over the years and always put the weight back on. I needed something new, some tool that would help me make a life change. So I started in the program. I went through the process, got very active in the community and had the surgery. I was on a good road. I was active (could climb stairs without being out of breath) and headed toward my goal. Then I moved. Everything about the move was great exect for the fact I had to leave the program. It was the worse thing I could have done for myself. I need the support and hope to find it here. I now live in Raleigh and have yet to find any support groups here. :(
