I am 37 years old and have been married to a wonderful man for the last 18 years. I have been overweight my entire life. I do not remember being thin at all. I have struggled to keep from gaining any more weight forever it seems. My parents both passed at a young age my father at the age of 57 and my mother at the age of 56. I have wanted wls surgery for a very long time but because I have cardiolomyopathy I could not get clearance. After my mom had a stroke and then passed three years later I was scared out of my mind. All the females on my mothers side have passed in their 50's from stroke. After having many problems and seeing several Dr's who suggest wls I decided I would approach my cardiologist again since it had been many years since he said no. I new my heart was doing better and decided to ask. I visited the surgeon on Nov 11, 2009 and scheduled an appt with the cardiologist the following week. My biggest hurdle was over I got cleared and they said that it is the prime time to have the surgery. I got my date and will be having surgery on January 11, 2010.
