My story hmmm.....ok....well i'm 32 i'm way way overweight, I have insulin resistance+ pcos and that is why i am here. my symptoms are so severe i can't stand it anymore. I don't have insurance so I am not taking medication at all, but the metformin makes me so sick anyway i stopped taking it when i did have it sooooo i guess it doesn't matter, it's my fault for not staying ontop of it. I have just decided to have wls rny and it's all happening too fast for me. i don't have insurance, so i will be a cash patient. i really need to find a good support group in or near long beach,ca to attend....i'm still looking. i need to be more proactive in this process....i just started all this a few weeks ago and i'm set to have the surgery friday.................yikes!! i'll revise this later.......i suck at blogging hahahhaha.

I am a very fortunate person. As of right now in my life everyone is healthy and for the most part happy, I am so thankful for that. I thank my lucky stars everyday that I have such loving, wonderful, supportive parents, family, friends and a husband that adores me for me. He is my best friend and soul mate. We've been together for 15 yrs, I am truly blessed.....he is the bee's knee's I tell ya! lol.
Growing up I was not overweight, I was always involved in some sort of activity, dance, sports or whatever. I didn't start gaining weight until I turned about 20. Since that time my weight has increasingly gotten higher and higher each and every year. when I was 23 I did the Lindora diet and lost 70lbs......dam i looked good....hahha...no but really... i felt good anyway, whether i looked good or not. I speed walked 4-5 miles a day did the low carb high protein thing and it worked. But as soon as I slacked off on the no carbs (or low carbs i should say) my weight came back with a vengeance, No matter weather I was still walking or not. So since then I've been dieting off and on and doing different things but nothing has really helped my steady weight gain. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance. I always knew something was wrong I just didn't know what. Honestly after I found out about my pcos I just kinda gave up on dieting and worring about it. I guess I kinda got numb to it and felt sorta helpless, the woe is me syndrome. But NO MORE! So here I am about to undergo WLS to try and correct my insulin levels and all the other hormones that are out of whack so I can live a healthy, happier life. Shit, low carbs huh? watch this!!! I will beat this pcos at it's own game! I'll always have it but with WLS i'll be able to combat it and hopefully keep that bullsh** at bay. lol. Wish me luck
