Wow!!!! I have not posted on here in a very long time!!!!! I have been back and forth with the whole idea of weight loss surgery. I am now a Registered Nurse, job is great but the aches and pains from being overweight and all the physical work required are really causing my body to YELLLLL ARE you FINALLY READY to have WLS yet?!?! ITs really sad that I have put off weight loss surgery for sooo long because my mother does not agree with the surgery and tells me I really have to do everything possible. However, my husband completely supports me 100%....shouldnt that be all I need?! Well for whatever reason I have allowed my mothers negative light shine on WLS and bam it hit me this week...SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT I AM FEELING or the PHYSICAL PAIN I am in!!!!! So this is not for her it is for me. I now have a precancerous tumor in my right ovary...THanks a lot PCOS!!!! I am in the process of getting labs done and begin preparation for the removal of the ovary. I have no kids and I am quiet scared to lose my ovary. Sooo.......WLS will have to be an option cause I refuse to DIE!!!!! I have to give my other ovary a chance, as my Doc says ;0) So here I am looking at my option for WLS in a new light and not allowing my mothers negative judgements effect me. I have already found out that my insurance approves WLS and just need to meet the requirements....6 month waiting period, documented attempts at weight loss blah blah blah you know the FUN crap!!!!! Then hopefully I can begin my life cancer free and on my way to fashion, fun and loving life again!! Here the journey begins...........

Sooo.......some friends on here have asked me where I am in my weight loss journey.....NOWHERE!!!! I mean I have actually made the decision that I definately want the gastric bypass surgery and would love to start the journey. At first, my husband and I decided we wanted to have a baby first (dont ask me why I thought that was smart) but then we thought it would be best if I was healthier and more in shape to carry a baby. Now let me tell you.....my hubby and I have been wanting a baby for about 4 or 5 years now. I have PCOS and well baby making is not one of our stregnths right now. I am most likely going to need fertility treatment. Someone in my family just found out she was pregnant, another girl at work found she was pregnant anddd a friend from school found out she is having triplets and a cousin of mine is trying to get pregnant!!! SERIOUSLY????!!!! I just want to SCREAMMMMMMMMMMM I asked my husband.....is God trying to torture me or what?! Well......perhaps he is telling me to get off my oompa loompa non-motivated arse and get the WLS journey started so that I can hold a baby in my arms that is allll mine!!! So my New Years Resolution is to get started on the WLS journey full swing and make it a priority! It is time for me to make myself a priority!!!! So as of Monday (my next day off) I am going to call and make an appointment with  my primary and start the mandatory dieting phase needed for insurance purposes. I will be that much more close to my goal of sending off the request for surgery. I have lost the last ten years to obesity. I dont take pictures, go out to clubs or bars, shop much or have girls night out because of MY LARD ASS!!!!!!! The sad thing is I have such an outgoing personality and LOVVVEE to go out, shop and meet new people! Sooo its time for me to make a change and a wonderful change for myself it will be!! Thanks for reading my rant. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year! Thanks to all who have gone through WLS and have served as role models for me and soo many others!

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I am 26 years old and have been fighting my weight for about 10 years now. I began gaining weight at the age of 16 and never looked back. I was diagnosed with PCOS about 5 years ago and it has been ruining my what is supposed to be enjoyable life!!! I am looking into wls and not quiet sure which one I would prefer or is actually better for me. I am kind of leaning towards lap band right now. I am interested in making new friends that have similar weight loss and or medical issues. Thanks for reading!!
