Hi, I have been considering having WLS for a long time now. I have been overweight since I was about 12 years old. I was always the biggest one out of all my friends. I was lucky and found my true love at 16. He has loved me through all my highs and lows. He is always telling me how beautiful I am (no matter what size I am). I have been with him for 15 years and he has always tried to make me see the beauty he sees. I just dont see it. I have PCOS and that made trying to have a baby very diifcult. After four long years we had a little girl - the light of my life! She is seven now. She has brought me so much joy that I want to be around for her for a very long time! When she was five we decided to try to conceive again, which again proved to be difficult. But after two years we found out we were pregnant. That pregnancy was not as easy as the first because I found out that I had gestaional diabetes. Our second baby girl was perfectly fine throughout the pregnancy and the diabetes was under control. We went for a scheduled c-section and to our horror learned that our little girl's heartbeat had stopped. She was stillborn at 39 weeks. She looked beautiful and perfectly healthy (8lbs. 9oz.). The cause of her death was never found. That was the hardest thing I have ever been through in my life. I feel like my weight has beeen an issue with everything I have done in my life. My weight has always been something that has held me back from doing things and I dont want that anymore! I am moving forward with the desicion to have the VSG.
