2019 Grant Recipients
I’ve struggled with my weight since getting pregnant with my 1st child at the age of 19. My insurance has always excluded weight loss surgery. I knew I had to do something about my weight, and I kept researching trying to find an organization that would help me get the surgery. That is when I found the WLSFA. I am so thankful that I found them and was selected for the grant. I am one month post-op and I’m almost 40 pounds down and I’m so happy to be on the losers bench!
My husband and I have been together for 31 years. We have an autistic son who is 25 year old and lives with us. I have been struggling with my weight for over 30 years and I am grateful beyond measure to have this opportunity that has been provided to me by the WLSFA to to live a happier and healthier life for me and my family.
