Hello everyone my name is Cathy and I am 571/2 years old Happliy married to Jim and Mother to two girls age 21 and 18 both are in colleges now. 
I had been overweight from the time I was 10. I was consider chucky but was also very active in school and never let my weight bother me at all. I also have other problem  is that I am a hearing impaired person and therefore I wears aids in both ears. I lost my hearing due to chicken pox and high fever when I was 2 1/2 years old. 
After high school my weight would go up and I try a diet and it would goes down and within  a few years I would gain it back and plus more. When I finally got married I was at 225 and thus I look good for my weddings pictures. I was so glad I found the man of my dream who acceptted me as I am. After my first girls was born I was able to take off some of the weight when I joined weight watcher but it was hard as I don't watch what I am eating very well.Then within in 3 years I had my second girls I really gain weight for sure and had not been able to take it off. I try different diets since Jeanie craig  , nutricsystem (spell ) herbalife, and pills from my doctor.
About 3 years ago I ask my pcp about gastric bypass and he said no try another pills so I did and it didn't work very well as it would bring up my blood pressure very bad. So about a year ago I found this ad in the magazine about the very hospital my PCP work at and it was telling about the Weight-loss surgery center at De Paul hospital it was in a Journal. I ripped this out and show it to my doctor last springs (around April ) and he said this time they are the best so he helped me got started and in Aug I went to the seminar had my package all filled out and ready to turn in.
My husband came with me  to help me hear all I need as I might missed something and he is very supporting to me about and feel it would help me alot.
I decided I need to get a list ready about why I feel this surgery will help me.
1) I am weighting in around 350 at 5 feet 4 inches 
2) I have high blood pressure
3) I am borderline diabetic 
4) I use a cpap machine to sleep at night
5) I get out of breath so easy from going groceries shopping walking at the mall and so on
6) I can not keep up with anyone as I walk slow
7) clothes are so hard to find that fit right
8) want to make love with my man without being in pain
9) I also want to be around for my girls if and when they get marry has kids 
10) to be able to fit in booth at any eating places we goes too
11) ride the rides at 6 flags  or any amusement parks
12) not worried about if the chair will fit me or break 
13) I could go on and on if you know what I mean
