I'm sure the guys out there reading my blog don't want to read about my period! :)
I have a condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It's a hormonal imbalance that affects my menstrual cycles. In fact, I haven't had one for a very long time. It's been so long that I can't even remember. One of the best ways to correct the effects of PCOS is to lose weight. Well, I've lost weight many times in the last 5 years and it never helped.
However, the day of my lapband surgery I started my cycle. I was still in recovery when it started. At first I was worried they had put a catheter in me and when it was removed, I bled. But when I found out that didn't happen, I assumed somehow the anesthesia started my period. Whatever the reason, it was the first time in probably 5 years I had an actual cycle. And now, a little over a month later, I'm having another one.
I am so hopeful for all the things that lapband surgery is going to provide me...health, physical fitness, more places to shop :). And now, a balancing of my hormones. Surgery was a good decision.
