When I was 30 years old, I was diagnosed with PCOS. I am one of the lucky ones - I have 2 beautiful children. I am now 39, run 3 miles per day and consume approx. 1400 cal/day. I continue to have extremely irregular periods = I can miss 2 months and then bleed like crazy for 3 weeks at a time. I have put on 30 pounds in the last year and I cannot blame my diet. Both parents have DMII and HTN and my mom is a survivor of both uterine and breast CA - so hormones are not an option. I have failed Glucophage tx twice.
When I bring up a TAHBSO to my GYN, he rolls his eyes at me. With all my risks and my family history, wouldn't I be a perfect candidate for this?
I'm just frustrated and wonder if anyone else has had this procedure and if it helped.
I am a health nut and don't want to die fat, insulin-dependent and hairy. It is very sad to have to shave every day like my husband.....
