Julie L.
Hi, my name is Julie and I am 42 years old. I started looking into wls in 2001, which I had forgotten about until I revisited the whole idea last summer and realized I already had a sign on for this web site that I had created in 2001! My highest weight is 290, and when I hit that weight, I had to ask myself what I was doing.
I went to my Dr. in Sept. '08 and started doing the research at full speed. I have Cigna , so I need to be under a Dr.'s care for 6 consecutive months ( with documentation). I started that on January 2nd.
I have decided on the RNY. For the first time in years I feel like I have taken control of my weight. As of Jan. 1st, I have dropped to 272. I take each day one at a time, and I keep telling myself that I am worth the effort.
I am lucky to have the support of my wonderful husband and daughter.
