To days Topic

When did you decided to have wls, and why?!


I decided to have wls about a year ago, when i couldn't conceive it just tore my heart into pieces
and i remember when the doctor told me...you should get wls, i was 100% against it...nope wls is not for me...but then after i thought about it, learned about it...believed it was the right decision for me. As my big day approaches I'm happy about my decision and i can't wait to join everyone on the loser bench!

Like you my decision was based on my fertility issues.  I had gone through almost 8 yrs of failed treatments when my endo suggested it.  She started treating me for my PCOS, then my IR and later my type II diabetes.  One day she told me 'if by some miracle of God you ever got pregnant you would immediately be high risk due to your diabetes and would go on insulin and you will easily hit the 300s'.  My first thought was 'oh HELL no'.  And it wasn't the diabetes, hypertension, weight gain (although that would SUCK)...it was the fact that she truely didn't think I'd ever get pregnant...and that was my dream...to be a mom. 

So that was my drive to have surgery...to have kids.  I'd considered it about a year prior when a friend of mine had surgery but was not only misinformed but also in denial about my own weight.  I didn't think I was heavy enough.  I made the concrete decision to have surgery in March 04 and had surgery that August.

Good luck tomorrow!
