    highonlifega1970 got a reaction from Amelie2016 in Does anyone feel angrier or more 'indignant' post surgery?   
    I'm 11 days post.I know exactly what you are talking about.I've always been outgoing,calm,and happy person.But now I'm so edgy,get mad at the little simple things that use to not bother me,raging hormones.One min I'm laughing the next mad as hell or crying.Its got to be our hormones raging.I've been married 25 yrs and hubby upset with me over my emotions .I told him it's my hormones but he threaten to leave.By my surprise I told him"There's the door"Now I'm wondering where that came from.I realize it's all the years of being silent.He use to say things hurt my feeling ,I sucked it up.Didn't say nothing.Guess I was scared he would leave.But now my attitude is like "Go if you want,im tired of your Shit"Its like I finally woke up smelled the coffee.I'm not saying I'm getting a divorce.I just realized it's time for me to take care of myself.I've always catered to his needs .I lost myself somewhere in those 25 yrs.Now I'm tending to me and he don't like it.I say TOUGH.What I'm trying to say is take care of yourself and the rest will follow.

    Hello everyone, my bmi is 35 5'2 191.I'm 45 hve high bp,high cholesterol, diabetes, pcos,and sleep apnea also.Cigna turned me down twice so now I'm doing a peer to peer got a new surgeon cause one I had really dropped the ball.I also only told couple of people cause of judgement. Like everyone said its my health issues not there's. I've been married 25 yes hubby not very supportive but I'm going to do it anyway"My body,my money,my decision " thinking ,once I get it done ,he will come around.Only problem is he loves to cook loves to eat and yes ,he's, overweight.He needs to understand I'm doing this for my health and when I fit into size 8 or smaller its a plus.Hoping ,once he sees me healthier, he will decide to do it for hisself and his health.

    highonlifega1970 got a reaction from butternut in Im 38 years and never ovulate   
    I'm 45 got diagnosed at 22 yrs old.Back then pcos was very new.Doctors had no clue how to treat.Been married 25 yes no kids.I've tryed clomid for 6 months in my 20s ,no success.I also very upset cause all my friends was having them with no trouble. I learned to accept the fact of being childless.Even on clomid I never ovaluted. Now I'm 45 going thru process of vsg.Haven't thought about getting pregnant in yes and I don't want kids this late in life(which probably wouldn't happen) but just in case I'll get something to prevent it.If they had wls surgery back in those days I would have probably had no trouble getting pregnant. But it was gods will so I accepted it.What I'm trying to say kids is wonderful but if u don't have any its not the end of the world lol.I'm very happily married with no kids.Wish you all the best luck.

    Tnk are you self paying?If you really want this there should be no doubts.If you have doubts ,you need to wait till you are really sure.Me I'm extremely excited,I know this is what I want I'm prepared mentally and planning my every step before and after surgery. Like they said once you have it done there's no going back.I'm here if you need a friend. There's a lot of people here that's on your side if you decide too or not.
    Good luck
