Sleeveofsteel

I'm in Fairfield, OH. Had mine done by Dr. Curry in early August. I'm so sorry to hear that you're having complications. I'm not saying you're doctor isn't good, but have you thought about a second opinion? I know nothing about your doc, so I'm not bashing him/her. Just trying to help you get answers. I've had nothing but excellent service from Dr. Curry's office. I've had no complications and have no food intolerances. I know everyone is different and complications happen, but maybe you could call and talk to them if you're not getting answers elsewhere?

Have a great support system, stay hydrated, follow the guidelines and sleep a lot! But start walking as soon as you can! Enjoy the fresh air, it will keep you sane. Don't read everything on the Internet as gospel....always check with your doctor for serious questions. This forum was a life saver for me.

Just wanted to say "hi", since I'm new to this forum. Sleeved August 6th by Dr. Trace Curry, have had no complications, have never gotten sick, no food intolerances (hence the "sleeve of steel" nickname) and hope it stays that way. Down 52 lbs. in 11 weeks. Best decision I ever made!

Hi Marilyn! I also have PCOS. I'm 36 and was sleeved on Aug. 6th of this year. I know what a pain PCOS can be. I haven't had to deal with the hair growth, but definitely all the other issues associated with PCOS. I was scared that this surgery wouldn't even help with the weight. Man was I wrong. Surgery date, my weight was 267, today, 11 weeks post op, my weight is 215! I feel soooo different and I've had to cycles since surgery. They're usually every 3-4 months apart. Follow the rules for this surgery. The first few weeks are the most difficult. Get through those and the light is on the other side! Lol. I was worried that I'd be stuck eating turkey the rest of my life, but I can eat and tolerate ANYTHING, at least anything I've tried so far. I'm still under restriction on what I eat until the 3 month mark on Nov. 1st. But so far, everything works. It just makes me eat smaller portions. I think you're making the right move. I wish I had done this sooner! It has improved EVERY aspect of my life!
