Sorry it's long!
I am hoping to gain some perspective from people in alike situations. I have PCOS and as such have health related issues because of it (weight gain, hormonal imbalance, recently diagnosed with diabetes etc) I have also had issues with disordered eating in the last decade or so. I find myself going through stages of heavy binging and gaining 30-50kg in a year or obsessively exercising and culling calories to 400-500 and consequently loosing massive amounts of weight quickly. I've been sizes 10-26AU in the last 4 years for example. I am currently around my heaviest. Consequently this along with my PCOS has impacted my liver, resulted in type 2 diabetes and left me feeling chronically fatigued.
I have recently started visiting a great doctor, who has suggested two routes of treatment.
- Lifestyle change with the help of a Food Phycologist to aid my disordered eating OR
- Gastric Bypass. She agrees this seems extreme but she's worried my back and forth weight loss with do more damage to my health and thinks that I need something that will force me to keep on track.
The idea of surgery scares me, but also the thought of continuing the yo-yo-ing seems exhausting and I'm worried I'll just keep going back and forth from sick and obese to thin, sickly and utterly obsessed with food.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation or has dealt with disordered eating AND WLS?
Thank you
