My Story

May 07, 2009

Hi my name is Teresa I am 36 years old . Growing up I was always bigger than the other kids . But when I turned 15 i lost alot of weight and kept it off until I was 25. I got married and we were trying to have a baby with no luck not even with the doctors help . During this time I kept gaining weight . Nothing had changed in my diet or social life for the sudden change in weight . This left me concerned . I was back and forth to see my doctor . They kept saying that everything was fine I should try to lose weight . WELL I had been ttrying with no sucess . This only depressed me I knew that something was wrong . Well one day I was on my way to work and they were talking on the radio about PCOS I had every symptom they were talking about . Well I knew deep down that this was a name for my problem . I called the doctor that same day made a appointment . Sure enough that is what I had . Well it had went to far and they said that it had destroyed my reproductive system . I had large cysts on my ovaries and a tumer in my uterus . So I had to have a complete hyterectomy in 2007 ... Took me 4 months to heal as my insission had a ;arge hematoma so I had to heal with it open . I thought that I was dying . Since my surgery I have gained 30 more pounds . I have starved my self and gained weight . So I am now turning to RNY to help me . I am a self pay because my insurance will not pay for it . I am waiting for my loan to go through . Hopefully I will know tomorrow . I am flying to Monterrey Mexico for my surgery with Dr. Zapata . I hear that he is great and very affordable for self payers . Currently he is running a special for 11,000 minus airfare . Can't wait to get there and get this done maybe in June . Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin this new chapter in my life .
