A Different Kind of Journey

I am starting a different journey.

I am not finished with the journey through infertility but it's being postponed.

I am on a weight loss to health journey.

As much as I want a child now I know that I cannot and should not get pregnant at this weight. It pains me to postpone my IF journey but if I want to find success I need to start and finish my weight loss journey first.

I had a consult yesterday for ga.st.ric ban.din..g.

It was great and I really like my doctor. For the first time I feel like I have some control of my life and I will reach a goal I've set for myself.

I am excited and hopeful that the band will help not only with weight loss but with PCOS as well.

My doc seems to think so too - granted he is no RE but he's a fatty specialist.

So, things are in motion for the surgery. Don't have any specifics (much like starting ART) but I am excited and very, very hopeful.

I haven't decided if I'll continue posting here or if I'll start a new blog. Whichever choice I make I'll be sure to let you know!

Hope it helps. I know you've had anaesthetic issues, too, so hopefully that will settle.

I wish you luck! I had the band and it was a great tool for me. You have to be very disciplined though because it is very easy to cheat. My Mother-In-Law also had the band but lost almost no weight largely due to the milkshakes and other liquid high calorie/fat things she consumed. It is only as good as you make it. Use it well and best of luck!

I wanted to thank you for your blog! I am new to blogging and started as an outlet for all my feelings - feeling regarding my PSOS and infertility. Good luck with the weight loss (I'm also on that journey - I actually posted my weight and before pic - oh my!)
