Hi Maharisa... welcome aboard! You've found the right place for support and inspiration. We're happy you've joined us here.
Thanks for telling us your story. I feel sure you'll be thankful you never had that surgery after a while on Atkins. If the programme is followed to a "T" it really works... and works well!
Use the board for all it has to offer: Join a challenge or two, start a journal maybe, make friends, check out some low carb recipes... there's lots of stuff here to help you along, every step of the way.
Happy losing!
