Spread The Word

How did you find out about ObesityHelp?  There are people that are interested in weight loss surgery, pre-ops and post-ops that don't know about ObesityHelp.  We're asking for your help to reach out to others that would benefit from our community.

From our amazing OH members, there is so much support and information that would help countless other WLS'ers on our message boards, Health Tracker, our Goal system, OH online Groups, Before/After photos and lots more features.  We have thousands of articles that are available on OH to help others in their own WLS journey that are written by professionals and others experienced in the bariatric community . 

Our founder created ObesityHelp in 1998 from his vision of "Making The Journey Together" and that is what we've cared about most at OH. 

Please help us share ObesityHelp with your family, friends, work associates, your doctor or surgeon, anyone and everyone in the bariatric community.  Join us as we pay it forward.

Thank you for being part of our ObesityHelp community. 

 

My surgeons office told me about OH as a resource when I was researching RNY pre op.

Thanks for sharing how you heard about ObesityHelp.  We appreciate your membership in our special OH community!! 

Back in the dark ages...before I-phones and DSL...we had AOL, on CDs, that had so many hrs of service on them. I had gotten some at 7-11, or somewhere like that. I don't think there was any Google yet. This would have been in 2000-2001. Remember "Ask Jeeves"-the butler-looking guy? I asked Jeeves about "wt loss surgery", and OH was the first link that came up. The phone kept ringing (I was on the board of the PeeWee Football Association, and this was in the fall). When the phone would ring, you'd be kicked off the internet. I bet I had to re-log on 50 times that night, but I was persistant, having gotten TOTALLY hooked on the "Before & After" pictures.

OH literally saved my life. It was thru OH that I found my surgeon, my hospital, and lifelong friends, who have saved my life in oh, so many, many ways.

I am only ONE person. Multiply me times a ka-jillion, and that still would not be enough to measure the amount of peeps OH has touched, in some way. Naturally the site has evolved, over the years. People have come and gone, as people do. Sometimes I am REAL active..sometimes not so much...but I've never "left", and never plan to. I thank God, every day, for Eric Klein, and OH
