My Story
Jun 11, 2008
Well I guess I will finally post my story. I am 35 years old. I am married with 3 children 17, 12, & 11 months. I have been overweight all my life. I was the biggest one in my class every year. I started thinking about WLS about 4 years ago. My husbands insurance did not have it as an option. So we did a lot of praying and he wrote some letters and called his company. They just keep saying they would think about it. Well in Nov. 07 I came down with severe pneumonia. The Doctor told me I needed to get WLS or I probably would not be around to see my kids grow up. I told her that our insurance did not cover it and she said well you will have to get a loan to pay for it. So my husband decided to call our insurance company and they told him that starting Jan. 08 that the surgery would be covered and everything has worked out since. So I am ready for my new life to start and glad to have made such good friends in the meantime.
