Like everyone on here, I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I haven't had my surgery yet, but I hope to in the next several months.
I met my DH at work about 7 years ago. He was getting out of a marriage and I was ending a relationship that I was in for over 5 years. When I met him, I finally knew what love really was. We got engaged on his birthday in August 2003, and were married in February 2004. We had some trouble getting pregnant, and tried for 2 1/2 years. I had 2 miscarriages, and after the second one I was dx with PCOS and insulin resistance. I was put on metformin and tried to start taking clomid. Every month I'd go in I would have a cyst on my ovaries and had to be put on birth control pills until the next cycle. This continued for several months, and my Dr. decided to scope me. He found a uterine septum, which caused my miscarriages, and endometriosis. I had another surgery 3 month after that to make sure everything eas healed. I was on clomid for about 4 months and never got pregnant. It was draining on me and my marriage, so we decided to stop and both get healthy and have the lap band.
I found Dr. Garth Davis online through the hospital I work at. After we attended the seminar about the surgery, and started going to the nutritionist appointments. We had to do a 3 month diet with her, and then make an appointment to have the surgery. I thought it was a really good idea for DH and I both to go through this together so we can help each other through it. After 2 months of the diet I found out that God had decided to bless me with a baby. DH had the surgery in October 2007, and is now down 70 pounds! I had my beautiful baby boy in January and started going back to the nutritionist in February and got approved with my insurance within the last couple of weeks. I am now scheduled for August 8th to have my surgery!
