Smile Newbie here!
Hi all!
My name is Kim. My husband and I live in Virginia Beach, where he is stationed, but I am currently in Mo trying to get this surgery underway! I have been trying for two years and I am getting closer! We have been married 4+ yrs, and we are looking forward to a family! I I have a disorder called PCOS that has put a big damper on that. I had also decided before we married, that I wanted to be healthy before that happened. Well, we are ready... but my body is telling me different! lol I am still overweight (more now), and have health issues to go with it. Cant wait to get to know evreyone, and have support and knowledge from people who have "been there and done that"!!

Hello Kimj

Welcome to TT. You will find lots of support here and advice. You will be pleased to know that there are many threads here with TT members who have PCOS. Many of them since having the surgery have become pregnant for the first time - so hope is there. I've also got PCOS and have started a few threads relating to this. Some if you have any questions about the surgery, just go ahead an ask, someone here may very well be able to help. Good luck on your journey.

Hyacinth
