Hi Teresa. My name is Kristy and I too have PCOS. I was officially diagnosed in 1999 although I spent many years with symptoms. I too married my HS sweethart and this year we'll celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary (& 18 years together). I was overweight in school...averaging a weight of 160 and wearing a size 14. I stopped taking the pill a few months before we got married and all hell broke loose. I gained like 80lb in a year, started growing facial hair & stopped having periods all together. I also didn't get pregnant despite not using any birthcontrol. I finally got insurance a year later and she was clueless. She started me popping diet pills and after a year I'd lost 30lb and my periods STILL didn't return..and I still wasn't pregnant. Then I met my old OB and my 1st visit with him he dx'ed me with PCOS. Immediately he started me on the Provera/Clomid dance. After more cycles than I could count I was up to 200mg with no response. I was then sent to a specialist and did a round of injectables and still didn't get pregnant. During this time my health deteriorated. I was IR that turned diabetic & I'd also developed hypertension & sleep apnea...oh...and let's not forget that I STILL wasn't having any periods. I spent 8 years prior to my RNY ttc with no luck.
I had my RNY in 8/04 and was at goal with 114lb lost by 1 year post op. During this year my diabetes, hypertension & sleep apnea went away. My periods also were regular due to using the birth control patch. At 16m post op we decided to not use protection and I immediately got pregnant with DD1. I delivered her just days before my 2 year surgiversary & exactly 10 years after we started ttcing. I had an IUD put in when she was 4m old. Then when she was 1.5y I had my IUD pulled and the next month was pregnant again! I delivered my 2nd DD just last year. My kids wouldn't be here had it not been for my RNY.
Anyway although I'm not back at goal, I'm still 90lb down at 5.5 years post op. I'm very open about my surgery and my way to say thanks to my surgeon is that I speak as a post op at his monthly informational seminars. I also run a WLS support group online at www.soulcysters.net called WLS Divas.
Right now I've got my hands full so I don't know if I'll get to post here much, I start nursing school next week. Wish me luck!
GL to you with your surgery!!
I wake up in the morning with all this hair.
The kind that make people stare,
I’ve got a pain in my side,
And another blemish that makes me want to hide.
I’m as moody as I can be,
Everyone just stay away from me!
Once again my pants don’t fit,
I can’t even get this one to zip.
I fall down on my bed and cry,
Why is the happening why o why!
I’m just tired of all this pain,
The heart ache and the shame,
I’m tired of all the gawks and sneers,
Hurtful comments and the tears,
I’m tired of being tired you see,
I’m tired of what PCOS has done to me.

Short PCOS feelings
You have hurt me oh so very bad
Its hard to be happy
because the things you do to me make me sad
Why do I have to feel like someone I don't even know
Why do I have to hide my body from the world
And try not to let you show
I sometimes have a fear
That you wont allow me to bring a new life here
It frightens me so bad
I end up in tears
I just want you to go away
I want to feel normal
for at least one day.

You are my diabetes
You are my insulin resistance
You are my headaches
You are ME!
You are my excuse
You are my diet
You are my stress
You are my weak and brittle nails
You are ME!
You are why I am fat
You are why I am hairy
You are my mood swings
You are antidepressants
You are ME!
You are invitro fertilization
You are my pain
You are the reason I'm not a mommy
You are why I am writing this poem
You are ME!
You are sneaky
You know women that don't know you
You are not prejudice
You are ME!
