Hi! My name is Christina, I'm 36 and I live in Sahuarita/Green Valley Arizona. I am married and have three kids. My daughter, Kanlaya is 17 years old, my son Chris is 12 and my other son Cody is 10. I have been overweight all my life and I'm just so tired of it. I am at my highest weight right now...230 and I'm only 5'2. I have thought about having weight loss surgery, but it was only a thought. I never actually thought that I would qualify or even that my insurance would cover it. So I was really surprised when a friend of mine told me that she was having the RNY surgery and she had the same insurance company. So I made an appointment(4/23/07) and met with the WLS nurse and started researching everything. Then I had an appointment (5/03/07) with the surgeon, he was very nice, easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable. Right away he recommended the lap band, but I had already researched boh surgeries and I had my mind set on the RNY. After that appointment, I had to get my medical records sent to the surgeons office. That took 3 weeks and finally on May 21st my WLS doctors office sent it to the insurance company. And now I'm just waiting. I know 5 people who have had the WLS and they all look and say they feel great.
