Hi!!
I am SOOO happy to have come across this forum! Its hard being overweight and its even harder when you dont "fit in". On top of everything else, I unfortunatley have PCOS (polysistic ovarion syndrome). I have tried everything in the book to try and loose the weight and I am at the end of my rope. I finally started thinking about weight loss surgery after we had three failed attempts at fertility treatments. We found out the day before thanksgiving that our third round had failed and that was it for me. Its hard, with all the hormones, needles, ultrasounds, and all that other stuff. So anyways, I originally wanted to do the RNY and thats what I have been kind of set on until a bunch of people started scaring my husband and he begged me to look into other options. So as I did my research and thought about it more, I decided to go with the less risky and do the lapband. I know it will be better in the end as well, because the weight will come off slower (hopefully not to slow) and if I ever get pregnant the baby will get proper nutirents. Due to my inssurance I have to be on a supervised diet for 6 months and I am now in my third month and just sent in my paperwork to the surgeons office. I am really scared and have nightmares that for some reason I will be rejected by the surgeon and/or the inssurance company but I guess we will just wait and see!!
Thank you for taking the time to read my intro, I look forward in forming a new support group and hopefully gaining new friends!!
