PCOS

Okay so I realized after I read Beth's comment on my last post that I've never really said anything about PCOS. Since PCOS is the major contributor to me having WLS I will explain briefly.
Basically it causes a bunch of different issues and most people with PCOS don't seem to get them all. Thank God. My symptoms are, Acne, Excess facial hair, Depression, and Insulin resistance. The insulin resistance is the major issue. Because of irregular insulin levels the body craves carbs and thinks it need to hold on to everything I put in My mouth. I worked out with a trainer 5 days a week for an hour for six months, ate healthy and didn't loose any weight. (frustrating)Weight gain tends to be around the mid section which makes my asthma worse. So my Dr suggested WLS. I've added a link for anyone that would like to know more about PCOS, its symptoms and treatments. Thanks for Reading.
