Wayyyyy OT, but I would like your opinions ladies
Wow!! Thank you ladies for all of your wonderful replies. You truly are a great group of women...which is why I continue to hang out on this board even though I am not TTC anymore!
I did speak with my PCP on this issue yesterday. He was of the opinion that a wait and see approach is a good idea. He also was a little miffed at the surgeon who wants to operate so quickly, as he feels that the decision should be mine...the surgeon is just there to make recommendations and do whatever I decide to do.
I was supposed to have an appointment with surgeon #1 tihs morning, but as I was driving there (he is a little over 50 miles from my home), his office phoned and had to cancel my appointment. It is rescheduled for September 11th. I am actually very happy about this, as it gives me a couple of more weeks to see how things go with my weight!
I believe my decision is giong to be the wait and see approach. I can just hardly fathom the idea of purposefully making myself feel like crap again with an invasive procedure that may or may not be necessary. Obviously, if I cannot maintain my weight, I will have to do something, but hopefully I won't need anything.
Thanks again for all of your wonderful words of wisdom!!!! I appreciate you all more than you know!
Hugs to ya'll!
