I am 35 year old female, 5 feet 3 inches. I never had to worry about my weight until I was about 25 years old. I gained 30 pounds in a month. My gyno diagnosed me with a condition called poly cystic ovarian syndrome. Basically I don't ovulate and my periods are all messed up. I don't know how I got to 295 pounds but I am. My weight never bothered me until I found out I was a diabetic and my blood pressure is getting a little out of hand. Plus my gyno says I will have to loose the weight if I ever want to have kids and I have to do it soon. I have prayed about this surgery for so long and now it is my last choice. I have tried dieting but I gain it back. I tried exercising but when your boobs are 56ddd its a little hard. I know this is not a quick fix but it is a start. A start that I need in order to have a healthier life. I know I can do this. To all of you reading this even though I don't know you, I believe in you. Pray for me as I pray for you. Here's to a LONG BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY LIFE.
