I was like so many others and fought weight issues since I was a child.  I can remember my mother either making my clothes or ordering if she could find the "chubby" sizes.  I was not obese especially but always heavy.  I had gotten heavy after my family made a move my junior year of high school and my Mom sent me to the doctor the summer before I was a senior and was put on diet pills.  I lost a considerable amount of weight and went on through school and college and met my husband.  We got married and I spiraled upward from there.  I gained a lot of weight during my first pregnancy and the other two following.  I never lost the baby weight!  I have tried all the diets around including Atkins, Weight Watchers many times and the list can go on and on.  I didn't think I would ever be able to have this surgical procedure due to the cost and my insurance always excluded weight related surgery.  They always paid for the many doctor visits, insulin, blood pressure medication, C-Pap machine and my list goes on and on.  I weighed 408 when I first went to a seminar.  I had heard Weight Wise on the radio and that their procedures were at a reduced cost and that there would be financing available.  I got very excited.  I attended my first Seminar where Dr. Walton presented the information and I knew I had to do this at this time.  I felt an urgency about it.  I felt that if I didn't do something soon I wouldn't be around to see my grandbaby grow up.  I had my Lap RNY on March 12th and it has been simply amazing.  I would do it all over again.  I feel like it has given me a new life and a chance at living life and not merely watching it go by.  I am in such awe at the professionalism of the people at Weight Wise and especially want to thank Dr. Walton for giving me a tool and my life back!!!  Dr. Walton, you are the best!!
