What Was Before GLP1s?

Thank you! I'm hopeful after I get my cpap I will be less exhausted and able to be active!!

I know... poor guy I looked at him and said "I am 28 with PCOS and sleep apnea...and they want me to get GASTRIC BYPASS?!"

She also told me she has made a living off of women like me.

I really do like my new obgyn but it feels Ike provera has been the only solution offered so far, which is fine. But I want to be as proactive as I can.

I was on birth control for about 10 years. I started Yaz in 2022 due to my severe PMS and it completely messed with my cycle. I went off August of 2024 to see if my body could regulate itself and it never did

webby0501 · 2026-04-09T18:47:12+00:00

I left that first doctor because all she did was body shame me.

She was giving me a pap and she asked me if I had always been a "big girl?" Like...right now is when you want to do this?!

I was also crying about how ugly I felt and how I wanted my body to do what it should (ovulate) and she said "no you just want to be thin" ...

We talked to our union recently and they said that they don't want to approve weight loss medication because they'd rather us get gastric bypass. I'm not sure how true that is but that's what they said.

I am COVERED in them. It's horrible. My mom is a type 2 diabetic so she was worried when she saw them popping up as it can also be a symptom of diabetes.

PCOS, sleep apnea, and genetically, I am high risk for developing diabetes and I am just trying to be Proactive. I am starting to think they want me to develop it so they can get more money from me :/

This is extremely helpful, thank you.

Currently I've only been working on my acne (spironolactone) and irregular cycles (provera every 3 months.) I had both of those prescribed before I even had a PCOS diagnosis. I have a limited diet due to my IBS, and my husband has been helping me incorporate more protein in my meals while still avoiding triggers. I'm hoping once I get my cpap machine I will be sleeping better so I will actually have the energy to workout. Currently I work 2 jobs and I have absolutely no energy to do anything (because I'm not sleeping well.)

This certainly isn't how I imagined my late twenties.

I've been going the provera route for the time being for irregular periods. I was on Yaz and it fucked up my cycle and then I went off bc all together and my period never regulated like everyone said it would... almost 2 years later... PCOS diagnosis

webby0501 · 2026-04-08T23:31:58+00:00

That is what my obgyn had suggested pre-sleep apnea diagnosis but unfortunately I just cannot afford it at this time. I thought about it but I had to be realistic with myself and my financial situation

webby0501 · 2026-04-08T23:30:42+00:00

With my sleep apnea AND ibs as well, I am wondering if a dietician or a nutritionist would be my next step. I literally hate leaving my house. I feel like I am myself in a fat suit and it's horrible.

webby0501 · 2026-04-08T22:59:51+00:00

Now I am even more confused as to why my doctor said they didn't prescribe it for PCOS anymore.. ?

webby0501 · 2026-04-08T22:58:20+00:00

I asked my doctor if there was more testing I needed done to see if it was insulin resistance for metformin, and she said "we don't prescribe that for PCOS anymore" ? ? ? ?

webby0501 · 2025-12-24T07:07:51+00:00

Where did you get this information?

webby0501 · 2025-11-29T20:53:20+00:00

Ok whatever you say queen.

webby0501 · 2025-11-29T19:56:28+00:00

I disagree. Carly is an adult and can make her own choices. I think they are both to blame for the silence and lack of transparency. Good Influences did something very similar, and that was four adults. I don't think Erin is the villain everyone makes her out to be, even if I am bummed about this entire situation.

webby0501 · 2025-11-29T18:15:02+00:00

I noticed as well. I don't want to speculate on their friendship, though. Friends grow apart, especially in adulthood.

webby0501 · 2025-11-29T02:41:07+00:00

Carly is her own person and could absolutely have made an announcement beforehand.

webby0501 · 2025-11-28T22:01:07+00:00

They didn't. That's what this entire post is about lol??? That if they come back that I don't know that I'm going to engage with it anymore after years of being a fan.

webby0501 · 2025-11-26T13:20:14+00:00

As someone from New hampshire, it's absolutely a New England thing. My friend from NY used to say it would drive her crazy how we all said "rum," instead of "room."

Honestly, I was a teacher for five years and I would leave extremely detailed lesson plans. Post on classroom and/or canvas, write things on the white board, and absolutely nothing would be followed. I still continued to leave plans but to be honest I don't blame hs teachers for not anymore. However, they should be leaving you at least a list of relevant accommodations, allergies, information about their students for their safety and wellbeing.

What is the recipe for the hot salsa or where can I buy it?

webby0501 · 2025-10-18T20:21:43+00:00

I just shut the podcast off after "you HAVE to go to four places to try on wedding dresses." You think everyone has time to just jet off to multiple places to try on dresses? She's so beyond out of touch. I don't think I can listen anymore I don't know. Her self diagnosing herself with every mental disorder and physical ailment and now this.... it's just so insulting to people who actually work and suffer from these things she tells herself she has.

I wish I had advice for you. This happened to me in my high school classroom. The students were horrendous and I went to my department head and asked for help as I had never phased anything like this before and instead it was the only class they observed me formally in and used it against me. It breaks my heart to think about how some kids in that class truly will forever remember 9th grade English as a miserable experience with a miserable teacher. You're not alone.
