Hi my name is Jenny and I'm 30 years old. I've struggled with my weight since I was diagnosed with pcos at 15 years of age. In the last couple of years it has gotten out of hand. I am currently the heaviest I've ever been which is both scary and disappointing. After many failed attempts of diet and exercise and months of Internet research I decided things really needed to change and I definitely needed to take my life back! My surgery date is set for 16th October. If anyone has similar dates I am interested in having a support buddy who is going to be going through or has been through the same journey.

Yea with the gastric you lose it a lot faster ... I kept mine a secret just cause I didn't want anyone to judge me or say that I took the easy rout out ...I only told my mom and dad, I made my stay at the hospital fast I was in Thursday and put Friday morning ...

Yeah I understand about people judging, and even though they might think it's the easy way out its not really. You still need to put in the hard work. It's also hard keeping it a secret, and being able to trust someone enough to talk about what your going through. You can always talk to me if you need to. I might not being going through it just yet but I will be. ????

My surgery date is October 12th. My situation is the EXACT same as yours. Surgery is getting so close!
