Hi all...

I am new to this particular board. I post on all others, but find out everyday that there is another one. Anyway, I am 25 years old, 205 lbs, and I have a date for February 1st. I am overly excited. I can't express how blessed I am to be able to have this surgery. I have PCOS and chronic lower back pain for the past 12-14 years. I have always been a thick girl coming up. I was never skinny. I am just blessed to have the opportunity to reverse these 2 main issues that I have been dealing with for as long as I can remember. Well I'll continue to read your post, and I'll post again later. Thanks.

Welcome to the group! This one rocks, lol. Your date is coming soon, I'm excited for you as well! *~*Jaci*~*

Welcome to the board!! Heck... after losing 140 lbs I'm at 203. I hope this surgery will help the problems. I can be honest that I have more back pain now than I've ever had in the past. Its weird but very true. As well as my PCOS is no better. I could be weird but I've noticed no difference. I hope this surgery helkps. Please post any questions that you have. Faith 350/203/159

I'm happy to report that 3 mo. out from WLS and after a loss of only 47 lbs. my PCOS is actually getting better and my period is becoming regular again. But then, I had PCOS for just 2-3 years before getting the surgery. I wonder if the longer one has it, the less it's affected by weight?
