checkmeowt got a reaction from MrzGainey88 in Getting pregnant after 100 pound loss with PCOS
I also have PCOS - but I just started the steps to get my WLS.
I had my appointment with the bariatric doctor today and she was formerly an endocrinologist who worked a lot with PCOS. She said that essentially from surgery day my fertility would be through the roof.
Also, I just wanted to make sure you don't take Clomid from your OB. You should be monitored while taking it, by a Reproductive Endocrinologist, otherwise it could severely affect your fertility. You can't do more than 4-6 courses of Clomid in a lifetime.
Good luck! I'm also counting the day to surgery and then the year after so we can start our own family.

Use a tent method to cook the meat - essentially wrap the meat in foil or parchment paper with space at the top.
Crock pot will keep the meat moist.
Deli rotisserie chicken.

checkmeowt got a reaction from dancingqueene in Surgery choices- sleeve vs RNY
I think the choice between RNY depends on your comorbodities and current medical conditions - reflux, pcos, etc.
Also, the sleeve does give you more leeway after surgery, so depending on your relationship with food and ability to cut things out of your diet without the incentive of the RNY intolerances, that might be a factor.

Here in Minnesota the sweet corn is just starting to show up. I am really going to miss it this year :-(

checkmeowt got a reaction from mrslaney04 in Why Bypass?
Same as the others.
I have some GERD and metabolic issues so the RNY is best for me.
Plus, I'm not put off by dumping, I think it will help me stay accountable.

Day 3 was the worst. I've lost almost all my hunger pains and have lost over 10 lbs.

Hi everyone I as well have a July 15th surgical date. It also falls on my oldest sons birthday (22) . He's fine with it because he knows how long and how hard I have been working for this. I'm from Michigan and glad to have found this app.

checkmeowt got a reaction from The Candidate in Gastric Sleeve Vs. Gastric Bypass
With GERD, the sleeve would not be recommended as it would make it much worse. The surgeon won't even offer it to you if he knows of it.

Your judgement makes me sick.
Guess what? It's none of your damn business what she decides to do. It's ultimately her and the father's decision. Not mine. Not yours.
She needs support right now. Not self righteous judgement.
