I started this journey 6 months ago. About 2 months ago the Dr told me he would not operate on me because my A1C was 9.8, he said if I manage to get it down to a 8 he will proceed with the operation. I actually told myself I can do this without the surgery so I got on a diet and lost 20lbs and was feeling so much better. The Dr office kept callling me and I kept ignoring it. My PCM sent me for blood work and my A1C came back as 7.9 lol. This was fwd to the Dr and now I was pushed over to scheduling, currently waiting for them to call me with a surgery date.

I realized maybe I should just go ahead with this. I already started to eat right, got my mind in the right place and if I kept with this diet it was only a matter of time until I mess up and gained it all back as always. The fear of the unknown is what made me back out amongst other things but if this can help with my PCOS and type2 diabetes like my Dr told me then I don't see why I keep trying to back out..i just don't want to end up regretting it.

Do what works for you, deep down you have to think and pick the right decision for you! I've had PCOS for almost 10 years now. I'm getting the surgery because I'm sick of working so hard just to step on the scale and not see results, I'm ready for the help and I'm ready to work hard to succeed but I'm accepting that I need help and know that PCOS will clear up. Wish you the best!!

My surgery was in Monday 4.17.17. I am currently home recovering. So yeah I went through with it even though as they rolled me into the operating table I was a nervous wreck. But now I think I made the right choice for my health.
