Hi my is Jessica and i'm 25 years old. I have been battling with being over weight for as long as I can remember. I was diagnosed with pcos (Poly cystic Ovarian Syndrome) when I was 17 years old. Me being over weight has only cause more complication with my pcos. I now have high blood pressure and am really close to being borderline diabetic. Me and my husband have been together for 9 years and married for 4 years. We are ready to start our family. With the Pcos it is hard to conceive, but it is even harder when your over weight. Last year when I was diagnosed with high blood pressure I realized I needed to make a change in my life. I started eating healthier and going to the doctor. Since last year I have been able to bring my weight down some, but I still have a while to go. Last November I ran across a local ad for weightless surgery. I decided to take a look in to the surgery. I peddled around with the idea a scared myself. About June of this year I decided to walk in the the Obesity Solutions office and try again. I am scheduled to have surgery in December. I am very happy and anxious at the same time. I have been sitting on the sidelines most of my life letting everyone around me have all the fun. I have decided that I am not going to continue to do so. I know that there are going to be struggles before and after surgery, but I am ready to live life and not allow my weight to be the main control in my life. I want to use this tool I am being given to live a better and healthier lifestyle. I just wanted to introduce myself and share a little bit of my story.
