Hello OH :)
I'm 19. I have a pretty bland story. I've been overweight since I was 8 or 9. That is when i went through puberty.
Ever since then I have been overweight/obese. I feel like I'm trapped in very large body, but at the same time I do not fee like I weigh as much as I do.
I really hope to have surgery in december (since i'm in college i can only do it during a break. summer & winter break are the longest ones. summer is already gone. My insurance re-news in April of 2008 so since my deductible has been met (its a high one) due to my other surgery, I want to have the surgery before April. so winter break it is... if i get approved!)
I love children, i don't have any. I babysit a lot & i work in my church as a main volunteer. I have been diagnosed w/ PCOS so i'm considered infertile. If i lose a drastic amount of weight the PCOS may go away! So hopefully the surgery will cure me. I want to have children of my own one day.
