New to PCOS board

Hi all, I am new to the PCOS board. I just had open RNY on JUly 6, 2004. I tried to convince my insurance company that PCOS was a factor in my obesity even my Dr's did but alas they sent out the same generic letter over and overf. I did self pay, I don't know which hurt more the surgery or the hit to the pocket book. I was only diagnosed with PCOS last summer although 7 years ago I had a cyst rupture while I was at work. I never ever want to go thru that again. We have been blessed with one child 6 years no birth control and a lot of luck. Now I am just trying to recover, I have good days and bad. Unfortunate and nice to know that there are others out there with PCOS and we can all talk about it. I felt so alone when I was diagnosed. Tanis 272/259/140

Hi Tanis I also have this condition and I have to say I am doing so much better in so many ways. I have to admit that dam hair growth under my chin is still there but I have normal ontime periods which I have not had in yrs and I truely feel it only helps this condition the more you lose. Good luck

Hi ya Tanis!! There are alot of us women with PCOS here on this website. Not everyone posts here but on the Main board you often see references to it. Good luck on your recovery from surgery!!! Susan
