Hey,Everybody I'm Tarkesha I'm 30 years old. I have been overweight all my life.I started looking into weight loss surgery 2 ahalf years ago.My husbands insur. has a exclusion in it.So all my hopes of getting the surgery was out the door,untill I started getting on this web site.I met a lady name Angie Flores and she helped me keep hope alive.She's the sweeties person ever.I was a bus driver for Houston ISD they didnt cover it either so Angie gave me some jobs that covered the surgery.I got one by the grace of God.I had to do a 6 month supervised diet.June was my last visit everything was sent to my insur. within 3weeks I go my approval letter.The first time.Looking at your before and after photos has keep me going to.I just.I went through alot to get this surgery.I would not change anything in my journey this is the way it was ment to be.All praises to Jesus Christ I know it is him who has gotten me this far.Thank all of you and your stories.I keep you updated.
