Kristen B.
My name is Kristen, I am 23 and a college grad (Villa Julie College '07! I'm sure you've never heard of it, most people in Maryland haven't even heard of it lol...)
A few months after I got out of college, I began having some issues.
#1 After not getting my period for 3 months, it came back with a vengence!
#2 Started having some other odd symptoms (spells of feeling light-headed, frequent bathroom trips..)
And of course, this would happen right AFTER I graduate and have no insurance, right? So months later of dealing with Dr appointments and large COBRA payments, I was diagnosed with PCOS and Type II Diabetes. This was a crushing blow to me.. (which was quickly followed by me losing my job and falling into severe depression..)
Since then I have been diagnosed with Hypertension and am still trying to figure out an issue with my sleep. I started a new job that is all around better than the one I lost, so I told myself this year was going to be better! I started looking into WLS when I read an article that said WLS is shown to cure co-morbidities, such as diabetes. Since then, I've done a lot of research and getting WLS has become my one real big hope for improving the outcome of my life.
