Hi everyone my name is Renee M. and I joined this forum for support , information and to make my journey public. I am 30 years old and am a wife to the most wonderful husband in the world for 3 years and a mother to a loving daughter for seven. I have battled with my weight my whole life and I am literally to my wits end . Even though I have a very supportive husband who tells me he loves me just the way I am I feel that it really doesn't help at all when I don't fell the same. The main thing is that PCOS. It is not as life threatening as some thing but people just don't understand that some diseases don't so much attack your body but your mind. What I trying to say is that the side effects of PCOS have really ruined the image that I see when I look in the mirror. For starters I would like to just have the perks that go along with being a woman. Such as having a period and not having to use that awful smelling hair remover on your face as often as your husband shaves. I am just now able to look at my self in the mirror and see that I am not half bad. I still don't like taking pictures but I am working on that also. I have been thinking about wight loss surgery for awhile now. I was at my dr.'s office for my yearly physical and when she asked did I have any questions I just put it out there. I don't know how serious she thought I was about it and but she said she would check on it for me. The person I was really nervous to talk about it with was my husband. He was awsome he told me that he would go with what ever I decided just don't leave him when I loose the weight. I told him women never leave thier diamonds. Later that week my pcp wrote me a letter stating that I qualify to have the surgery. So my journey begins......
