I'm getting ready to start my journey. I'm 36 years old and can't wait to start my life.For so many years i feel like I have been held back by my body. My child was born in 98 and when he was 8 months old we decided to start trying again,but my body had other plans. I was diagnosed with poly cystic ovaries very early in the process and was never able to have another child. Two years ago this summer I had to have a hysterectomy after going through very rough cycles. I had to come to the realization that I had to do what was best for me and my mental state. We tried for 10 years and nothing. I have to say I am very pleased with my decision and I don't regret it at all.

I thought my life would start getting to a normal place until I started having neck issues,they progressed very quickly and the next summer I had to have neck surgery. it has taken a year to start feeling better,but my weight is still an issue.

Like I said in the beginning I have polycystic overies and I have the visual effect on my face. I hate this side effect. The only way to help the symptoms is to loose weight but with a bad neck and a hiatal hernia, that is easier said than done and you have to try harder than the average overweight person to see even a pound come off.

My husband has always had great health insurance but they would never cover this surgery. He has gone through many buy outs with his company and we are very lucky that through all of it we are going to get a severance pay after all the craziness is done. Finally after all these years of my body controlling me I finally feel like I am taking control of it. Sept 3rd is MY day to take back control of me. I will have my hernia fixed and my gallbladder removed if he sees that I need it done,and GOD willing it will be a new start to my life and my family will have a new wife and mom.
