This is a great article on how low vitamin D could be linked to PCOS. Just thought I'd share. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/can-low-vitamin-d-linked-pcos-9802.html

I was sleeved on 2/27/14 and I had an open procedure. My Dr said it was his first and he has been doing these types of surgeries for 20 years. My cut goes from the middle of my breast bone to the top of my belly button. He just went over a previous scar that was there. He said he had to do the open cut because of scar tissue from the previous surgery. I am still very sore but I am down a total of 23 lbs and 14 since day of surgery. I still have no appetite at all so everything that I eat I have to force and my liquid intake needs to increase but I'm finally in the last couple of days able to go for a walk. Hopefully the start of week 3 will be much easier.

why is it that everything wants to come back up? I am taking Zantac but it's not helping. It kind of gives me a tummy ache. What else can I take to help this?

I'm 2 weeks post op and I still feel like crap. I don't feel like eating or drinking anything. No appetite at all. My rib cage is still so sore and I feel weak. When will this end and when will I feel better?

Does anyone have cold toes? My toes are always cold.

the healing seems to be going slow. He cut over the top of my other scar and maybe that's why it's so sore. It goes from my chest bone to about 8 inches down the middle of my belly. No they didn't staple. It is dissolving stitches.

on the 27th

Hey everyone. I know my surgery was open (not laparoscopic) but I'm still not feeling it. I can barley get up by myself still. This is horrible. I have a high tolerance for pain but I'm still soooo sore.

Because of other previous surgeries. There was too much scar tissue.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to give an update. I had surgery yesterday but they couldn't do it laparoscopic so they had to cut my belly. I won't get out of here till tomorrow or Sunday. My pain level is a manageable but up there.

Surgery today at 2:30! Wish me luck..... I'm so nervous!

They moved my surgery to Thursday instead of Friday. I'm so nervous! Does anyone else have that "What if I die" thought? It's scary!

I'm 5'2 and 223 lbs. I am being sleeved on 2/28/14. My long term goal is 130.

My surgery is on Friday and I have a cold. I wonder if they are going to reschedule it because of that. Hopefully I can get rid of this before Friday morning. I have had it since this past Friday. Any suggestions to help me get rid of this dumb thing?

That's so funny! Well I see you haven't lost your sense of humor.

Just finished all of my pre op tests. OMG the barium stuff is horrid and the test where they have to test your oxygen in your blood..... I felt it in my nostrils. It was awful. But it's done and now is my surgery. I'm ready for the 28th!!!

I think I'm the last one this month to get sleeved. Anyone else getting sleeved on the 28th?

Good Luck SJ!!!

Good Luck AnarKiy! Prayers coming your way!

Yeah!! You can do this SuperFab

Awesome Lauren! You will feel good before you know it!

Good Luck Leigh and SuperFab! I'm saying a little prayer for you to recover soon.

Good luck to you too Leigh! I'm so excited for you!

I'm scheduled for the 28th. I stared my pre op diet on Saturday and I'm really hungry but I know this is going to be worth it. I'm having surgery at St. Luke's in Phoenix.
