My name is Christy Lee. I am 34 years old and I live in Corpus Christi, Texas. I decided to have WLS because I have been "obese" for as long as I can remember and I have tried every diet you can think of. The most succesful (if you can call it that) was weight watchers. I lost 60lbs in about 5 1/2 months but, I gained it all back plus about another 70 lbs. over the last 5 years. I first became interested in having WLS about 3 years ago but had problems with the insurance coverage. I tried again in Sept of 05' and chickened out. Since Sept. of 05', I have gained at least 45 lbs. which leads me to now. I am a month out from having the surgery and I am TERRIFIED. I am having a hard time dealing with the fear of the possible complications of the surgery and have come very close to backing out again! My surgey is scheduled for 1/4/07.
