KaitlynnHughes 9 Posted June 16, 2011 My journey started 1 year ago when I started taking birth control to treat PCOS. About 4 days into the pill i ended up in the ER with stroke symptoms (numbness in hands and feets, blurred vision. bp was 188/113), it was scary but eye opening!!! June 19, 2010 I decided that I had to do something about my weight and co-morbidities so I could be here for my two little boys!!! I researched my options for awhile and finally enrolled in a 6 month program for weight loss surgery!!! About a million hoops jumped through and here I am two weeks before my surgery (June 27), nervous and excited. This has been one hell of a year but i'm so ready for this change, I can't wait to be healthy and happy again!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
