Where to begin??....

I am 25 years old and for the past 2 years i've found that something was wrong. I was not having periods for months at a time which then led to not at all. My gyno kept telling me "..just give it another 6 months." i think she ended up telling me that 3 different times.  She ended up retiring and then i walk in for my annual to a new girl came up to me and when i told her my problems (no period, weight gain, hair growth, etc) she immediatly sent me for testing. 

A day later..i got a call on my cell phone...no word of a lie "...so yea this is 'so and so' and we got your test back and i think you have polycystic ovarion syndrome. Usually this means you might not be able to have children, but when you get a chance call me back, thanks" -- so is your jaw dropped right now? How crazy is that???

So...after that slight breakdown, i NEVER went back to her. I went to see Dr. Hein who is such a great guy. He is an endochronologist.  After seeing him SEVERAL times for almost a year and trying every weight loss program (including weight watchers, nutrisystem, and even a nutritionist) i just couldnt lose anything, he finally recommended that i should get this surgery.  He stated i'm considered on the small side for this but that i will just continue to get bigger as the years go on and with the PCOS my symptoms will get worse which can just open up doors i will never be able to close again. He then reccommended me to see Dr. Pohl...
