Lovealwaysrosie my doctor said it wouldn't actually cure the pcos but it will make all the symptoms go away I'm getting sleeved in 11 days Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My count down now begins 26 days

Did you strain or over exert yourself recently? Are you taking anything for the constipation, and has it helped with the pain? I think this is something better left for your doctor.

If all goes well I'll be having surgery August/Sept. I'm mom to two kids 7.5 months and 5. Every day I'm back and forth as I make my way through this process. My original hope was to have the sleeve but due to severe GERD I am not a candidate. I'm terrified of RNY from 15 years ago hearing horror stories. But reading more and more I realize that doctors have really perfected this surgery, and the risk of me having a serious complication from obesity is higher than the surgery in general. I have lost and gained 150 lbs in my life. I need something to stop the yoyo, I need something to keep me healthy, I need this tool to make me stay accountable. I need this to stop the horrific GERD that keeps me up at night, despite meds. Repeat repeat repeat everyday

I am feeling the same right now. I am scheduled for tomorrow morning. I believe this feeling is completely normal. I can't wait to share my experience with you all.

Thanks for the kudos! I am in this group - every day since surgery I have made a meal for my husband and son and then had something else to eat myself. I'll be glad when I can go back to a full diet in 2 weeks so I can make healthy meals all 3 of us can enjoy together once in awhile! :-)

Congrats. Speedy recovery. I'll be sleeved on Monday. Very excited. Yet very petrified.

I really love Torrid's sports bras, but they're pretty dang expensive. I get a lot of my active wear at old navy, and Walmart. Danskin brand at Walmart is surprisingly good.

Anything under 35 BMI do not send to insurance their guidelines are exact with no wavering, whatever you do going forward do not let your BMI drop under 35. You get weighed prior to surgery. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
