Well like everyone else I've been over weight as long as I can remember. I was always the largest with all my friends, but it never mattered to them as much as it mattered to me. I was always aware of it no matter what was going on. I never had a serious boyfriend until 9th grade when I met the love of my life who is now my husband, we have been together almost 11 years, married 3. He thinks I'm perfect no matter what size I am at. He supports me in all I do, and I love him more and more everyday for that reason. When I started to hit puberty things were never right, I finaly had to give in as a young teen and go to a OBGYN (as a woman we all remamber that first visit). I found out that I have PCOS. It has been effecting my life since puberty started. Everytime I have doctors appt. I'm told if you lose wt. It will help all your problems (irregular periods, messed up hormones, infertility, now boarder line diabetic, and hypertnsion). I have been dieting since I was 11yrs old and my wt. just goes down to double back up. I'm told woman with pcos have a more difficult time losing wt. and a hard time keeping it off. So here I am fighting the fight. I will beat this. I just recently read an article that woman who have PCOS that have WLS symtoms almost completely deminish. Anyways I did fight my way through infertility and after 2 years of treatments I finaly got pregnant and then had a beautiful baby girl. Do to Hypertension I was put on bed rest then delivered 6 weeks premature. She was 4 # 9oz and was this tiny little miricle that touched my life from the very moment I saw her. I look at her everyday and think "I want to be here for every amazing thing you do in your life" and if I dont't lose Weight I'm afraid I may miss things down the road. This surgery will help me to stay around as long as I can to enjoy everything with my Loving Husband and Beautiful Daughter.
