So I am getting excited to start this new chapter I will be going in to start my 4 month program on August 14th. But as I am very excited I am also very nervouse. I think I feel the same way I did when I had my 2 children which was excited, nervous terrified and a whole bunch of emotions all put into one. I am scared about the excess skin that I could have, I am scared about the hair loss that I hear about, I am also kind of sad about not being able to drink a big glass of water, i'm sure that there are more things that I am scared and nervous about but I will write them down later. Also I am nervous about people finding out that I had to have WLS to lose the weight. I realize that these are all fears that are not that big of a deal but this is what I think about. I have never been small either so I am not sure what it will be like to not have this weight on me. I am so happy that I have made it to this point and made the decision do the the gastric sleeve because I have dieted for so long and have had no results.

Hi Everyone! I am new on here and I was really excited to see that there is something on here about PCOS. I was diagnosed with it about 4 1/2 yrs ago and it has been a journey that is very hmmm what should one say lets say interesting. I got married in 2007 and thought that there might me some fertility issues but I wasn't sure, and I wasn't really ready yet for a little one. So we waited a year then started trying. Well I went through all the tests and insurance wouldn't cover hardly anything. So I decided lets start adn try a cycle of the IUI. Well we were blessed on our very first try which is so rare that my doc was very impressed with herself. We were able to have a healthy little girl in Jan of 10. I did have some issues with blood pressure or preeclampsyia but made it to the end. She is now 2 1/2 and on accident we got pregnant again with no help in and had a healthy baby boy in May of this year. I have so many friends that struggle with PCOS and all that goes along with it. I am at 258 lbs and i am 5'7". I am going to be starting my amazing journey on August 14th. I truly believe that I started having all my problems after I did 3 rounds of the Depo shot when i was in my early 20's that for me is when all my problems started. It has been alot of ups and downs with everything. PCOS is xpensive and they really cannot tell you what causes it or what doesn't. It is a very frustating thing that way to many young women have. I just thought that I would share my story and hopefully it will help someone who is experiencing the ups and downs. I am starting this process of my children and for myself. I want to be able to run and play and feel good. I hope that my journey is everything that I am hoping it will be
