Hi everyone,
I am fairly new to this board and I am considering WLS. HOWEVER, a friend of mine who had the surgerysays "you're not fat enough." She didnt mean it in a bad way but it has been bothering me. I have PCOS and I CANNOT LOSE THE WEIGHT! NO matter what I try, it doesn't work. I am 5'7" and I weigh 170. I am 120 lbs over what i am "supposed" to weigh. I don't "look" obese (yes, i truly am big boned) BUT I AM! If I get a referal from my dr, will the surgeon look at me and say I am not fat enough too? What if my last option is not an option for me? Will my dr even give me a referal? I go to see her this Friday. I just wanted to ask you all about this...maybe someone has some input.
Thanks for reading!
Nancy
