my story,let me try this again,my 2 year old just deleted what i just wrote!!!!! i am 29 with 3 kids. ages 10, 6, 2. and yes terrible 2 !!!! but i love her but i think at 29 and her being my 3rd child my patience is extremely low 
.(I'm just playing). i have put on Lots of weight with my 3 pregnancies.all of which were c-sections. i have thought about the gastric bypass for over a year.but when i found out i have a medical condition called (hope i spell it right) psuedo tumor cerebri, i really makde my mind up..if you don't know about that condition, it is where you have Lots of pressure in your spinal fluid and actually more spinal fluid. which makes me have severe headaches and eye pain all the time.I'm on medicine (diuretics) for it,but its still not managed well.the neurologist said this condition is common in over weight females.which sums it up for me.but that sad part is that this fluid puddles behind the optic nerve and can cause loss of eye sight.so the thought of me going blind, really scared me.the doctor said loosing weight would help.and actually my weight loss surgeon,the wonderful Dr.Ross, said he had this patient who had this and after her gastric bypass and loosing her excess weight, her condition went away totally.so, that made my mind up for the surgery. i am extremely scared to have the surgery.I've had many surgeries but to me this is really scaring me. i trust my doctor with my life and I'm going to go on with my surgery.
