Gastric Bypass Surgery???From: Melissa (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 29 Jul 2002 08:55:16 -0500 (CDT)
Hello fellow PCO'ers. I am thinking about getting the gastric bypass surgery. But so far my mother, father and grandmother is so discouraging and doesn't want me to do it. I have tried to tell them this is for my health and my future. I have tried to tell them because I have PCOS it is harder for me to lose weight than normal people. I have done my research and so far the pros out weight the cons. I read that after having this done, I could no longer have Type 2 diabetes. I could possibly have children, energy, find clothes that fit and look nice. Just all around healthier. I know I will always have PCOS, I know that there is no cure. Cons-Yes its major surgery and I could die on the table, but I could also die this afternoon in a car wreck or walking and bus hits me, of being fat I could have a heart attack. I am 5'9 and 310lbs, my BMI is 45, I am considered morbidly obese. My grandmother told me yesterday if I get it done or even think about it, don't tell her. She doesn't wanna hear about it. I feel that if I could lose over 100 lbs in a year, it’s worth it. If I could finally conceive, it’s worth it. Its not like I am the first one to get this done. 1,000's of people have had this done. I meet all the requirements. My fiancée tells me he is all for it, if I am. My family thinks it was his idea, not at all. He didn't even know what it was till I told him. That’s what they think. He says he loves me now, this is how I was when he met me and he loves me now. Plus he is about the same size as me. So why would he care. My wedding is set for Jan 17 2004 and I want to be small by time it happens and then after that start on my family. So if I have it now, it’s plenty of time. Has anyone else had it done and tell me if its worth it. Has anyone else had their families discourage them, and have no support from them and had it done anyway??? Thank you
