For starters let me say that this site has really given me inspiration during my journey toward WLS.
Well here is my story. I am now 27 and I have me overweight all my life. From baby pictures to look in the mirror now, there has never been a point in my life that I have been a healthy weight. I went on my first diet at 13, attending Jenny Craig, and at that time I weighed somewhere between 180-210. I must say that I lost about 50lbs on my 1st try and that made me feel really good. I have since tried Jenny Craig 4 other time, I have starved myself, and I have been on some many diets that is seems unreal to me that I am at the point I am now. I started looking into having WLS in 2002. I went to several seminars but most of the surgeons just did not make me feel comfortable. Until I looked on this site and saw information for Dr. James Davidson. He was awesome in my eyes, a realist and very detailed about life after the surgery. I started my process toward the surgery with the final step being a final 6 month weight loss trail. 2 months before completing this I was advised that my company would be out sourced
. 5 years later I am still trying to have this done and let me say that I have now gained an additional 60lbs. I attended another seminar back in April, and now that GOD has blessed my husband with health coverage that will cover the surgery, I am holding on to faith that everything will work out for me this time. I called Dr. Davidson office finally on Tuesday(9/11) and my case has been filed. So now I am just waiting to hear back and I guess this will be a good time to go ahead and start adding some information to my profile.
