Please read!! I am fat due to Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. And life saving medication But I can have a ?

Question

hysterectomy removing my ovaries too. This will help me to be thinner but I'll have to take fake hormones for the rest of my life.These hormones are made of horse urine. I'll have to keep taking my regular medicine though. But the hysterectomy is the only way I'll ever be thinner. What would you do in a world who worships the thin and beautiful? And thinks fat people are useless nothings? I will have to have the surgery within 10 to 15 years unless one of my ovaries bleeds. I'll need the surgery eventually anyway so what to do? I am feeling really down about myself. And I don't want to alone for the rest of my life because I am heavy. The surgery is optional now. It won't be later. I am in my mid-thirties if this helps.So Love myself the way I am? Or have the surgery? I am searching for some insight.

Answer 1

You'd be hard pressed to find a doctor who would perform a hysterectomy on you just so you could lose weight.

What you really should do is talk to your doctor about this and see if he/she can recommend a different medication that could help you lose weight.  Metformin is a medication most often prescribed for diabetes, but also often prescribed for PCOS, and it's known to help patients lose weight in both cases.

But honestly, beauty is on the inside, and anyone that can't see that probably isn't the kind of person you'd want to be with anyway.  There are all kinds of men out there, and most of them like to have a little bit of something to hold on to.

Answer 2

Don't do it, it sounds dangerous. You're on life saving medication and it is unsafe to go through major surgeries togehter at once (many people die who do this suffer deformity or death). Do it the healthy way, slow increases of exercise and healthy eating. You will find someone (you don't want a shallow person), just be patient!

Answer 3

I have also been struggling with whether or not to have a hysterectomy but for different health issues.  I am also heavy but I try and accept myself the way I am.  That doesn't mean that I am totally o.k. with how I look but  really believe that we are all different and I was never thin.  Partially due to health/hormones/endometriosis treatments/working all night shifts and partially due to just plain bad choices.  Another issue with a hysterectomy is that it may not make you thinner and the replacement hormones act like your ovaries so you may be in the same state that you are now.  Love who you are!!!
