WELCOME TO MY WSL STORY   

Hi, my name is Letecia Henry. I am 25 yrs old and I have been overweight most of my life. I can remember being in the 5th grade and being the biggest and tallest student in the whole school. That was one of my sad moments in my life. For that year in my life until now I have been very unhappy. I just got married to a wonderful man and we have no children at this time. My husband (Joel Henry) is my world and if it wasn’t for him I may not have had the WSL for many reasons. How I found out about the Weight Loss Surgery was because of my sister-in-law and one day I was driving home and I saw this sign and it was about WSL. I call the number and set me and my husband an appointment. We went to the session and that’s how I meet Dr. Marvin and his staff. My husband and I were so please about the session. We talk it over and started to do all the important steps to get us approve. My husband was approved first. His surgery was set for November 8, 2005. Everything went really well for him.

I had to wait until the first of the year to be added to his insurance. As we waited, something happen to me and my family that had changed my plans. My baby sister died in a house fire two days after Christmas (December 27, 2005). My world came crashing down and I was at a point in my life that I wasn’t sure if I wanted or could go though the WSL. My sister and I were close and we had talked about the WSL and we had even made plan to do different things after I had the WSL. As all these things was going on in my life, I was add to my husband insurance January 1, 2006 all I need to do was wait for the insurance card to come. I went back and forward on what I should do about the WSL and one day it came to me that my sister would have wanted me to go forward with the WSL and I felt like I couldn’t let her down. Rachel N. Lynch (my baby sister) would be my Sunshine when I feel the rain coming down. So I went ahead and call the doctor and inform them to go ahead and submit my paperwork........

I GOT APPROVE!! I GOT APPROVE!! I GOT APPROVE!! I GOT APPROVE!! I GOT APPROVE!! I GOT APPROVE ON JANUARY 24, 2006. I was a little scared waiting on a reply from my insurance. But I'm glad I got approve and now I'm ready to move forward....

I started my Pre-Op on Feb 7, 2006. I do my History/Education on Feb 22 & 23, 2006. And then I have my surgery on Feb 28, 2006, I am so excited/nervous/anxious/scared all rolled in one, but I am so happy that soon I will be able to have more energy and buy smaller clothes. I am so scared though but I really do have a good feeling about the whole thing. The good thing about the whole things is that my husband just had surgery on Nov. 8, 2005 and his surgery help prepare me for this. I was really happy that I was able to be there for him. And I know he would do the same for me.
I will post again soon...
