Weight is limiting my life.

Am still waiting for my doctor to submit to my insurance company. My POP sent all of my medical records to my GYN instead of the bariatric doctor. How frustrating.

 

Had to have a D&C and biopsy's two weeks ago after having had no period fo 4 years. I have been reading that being overweight can create too much estrogen. I did not know this. Is this true?

 

Having trouble driving because I have a stick shift car and my stomach is now becoming an issue. How very embarrasing. Have a bad knee and am using that as an excuse to look at an automatic.

 

I really hope I can get this lap band surgery done because I feel I am just about out of options and the extra weight is compromising my ablility to live the life I want.

I did not realize how much weight does affect your periods until I started on this journey my self. Yes, I have heard that is true...but there might be more to for it to go that long with out one. Ya know for me, when I started to feel the way you feel, which is were I am right now, I knew it was time for help. HANG in there, it is a long process....but I know it is going to be worth it!!!
