About OSLP - Mel GottFried
I’ve made connections with companies I trust with products many bariatric patients use daily.
We’ve developed friendships and built a network of relationships with bariatric community professionals, influencers, and content creators like me.
Most importantly – and most rewardingly – I’ve created a supportive, non-judgmental community that cares for its members like YOU!
Helping you is what keeps me going every day. I are forever grateful for the support the bariatric community has given us. I look forward to continuing to give back to you.
With a family history of obesity, growing up overweight, and the sudden death of my father at 59 years old, I knew, at 308lbs, I needed to make a change.
I fought the stigma of having weight loss surgery for two years and finally took the leap to have VSG in May of 2015. It’s been the best decision I’ve made for myself and my family. I lost 129lbs of excess weight and feel like a new woman!
I made big changes with my family after surgery. I enjoy working out and have awesome support from my husband and son. We make healthier choices as a family to break the patterns of obesity that I grew up with.
I now attend concerts, comedy shows, festivals, and backyard gatherings with confidence and joy.
