Hey everyone. I'm new to this whole procedure, while I have not had the surgery yet, still in the class process, I'm really excited! I have too many medical issues that prevent me from losing weight and exercising so I've decided to get this procedure done. I think I'm one of the few people that are not a plus size from over eating. Try explaining that to a dr. They all think people are over weight from food! If anyone has any advise to give id be more than happy to listen

It will help me lose the weight that I cannot lose. I cannot exercise. My RA and asthma prevent it. My doctors already agreed to do the surgery. When you have asthma and have been on and off steroids for 26 years you gain weight. It's not easy to lose the weight from that. Plus I have Polycystic ovarian syndrome which causes weight gain as well. I eat anywhere from 1-2 times a day. Is much harder to lose the weight because of medical problems than over eating. Especially when you have problems that prevent you from exercising

Polycystic ovarian syndrome causes weight gain, needing steroids for asthma as well. I have been on and off steroid medication for my asthma for 26 years. I'm now 30... I've had tests done and my thyroid came back negative.

I can't exercise because I have asthma and RA. My doctor and the surgeon suggest this is the best path for me as no other solutions have worked. I also have pcos and because of my age cannot get a hysterectomy. I have seen a bunch of obgyns and I'm getting age discrimination. I have my tubes tied but it does not help.
