Amanda Rieth

Christmas 2013 I finally hit my rock bottom after an off the cuff ‘not until the fat lady sings’ comment as everyone looked at me, I was done. I couldn’t stand not being included in family skiing trips or activities. I was tired of the yoyo dieting. I just wanted to unzip my skin and crawl out of it. My outside didn’t match who I was on the inside and I was so tired of the struggle. Once I finally decided on surgery, finding the OCC and Dr. Ortiz was God sent. In February 2014 I booked my surgery date for April 28th, the first step towards my new life. Almost 2 years later, I’m down 168 lbs., married, skiing and finally living life. My outside finally matches who I really am. It was the best decision I have ever made. It’s hasn’t been easy, it takes hard work but I wouldn’t have gotten here without the surgery and the OCC.
