My story is a very long one. I will try to make it as simple as possible. My journey to WLS has been dragged out for years. I have been attempting this for 6 years and finally succeeded. My health and insurance has been the biggest problem for me. First I was denied by insurance several times then my health started going down hill. When I finally found an insurance that would cover the surgery, then my health wouldnt allow it. It started with a cardiac clearance for the surgery that did not go very well. I ended up having a triple by-pass 
in May of 2007. Well after that I just knew that I wasnt going to be able to have WLS. But I figured I would try to pursue it anyway. So after many months of healing and praying, I was finally approved for WLS
. I am currently 1 week post-op so my journey is just beginning. I will keep you posted!!!
