Hey everyone, When I started my journey, my weight was 247.5 I am now 241.5 and I can't go below 241. Any advice on how to stay about the same weight? I have my last Dr. App on the 25th and my surgery will be in November. I am nervous but excited to be healthier!

@@GBaygurl, I'm doing a 3 month waiting period. Where I start and I have to keep it up for 3 months like exercise and then I will be approved.

Yes. I can't go below 40.1 I think that's what it is.

Before surgery has anyone had pain in their right upper quadrant? I have severe pain and getting an ultrasound Thursday to try to rule out gallstones. I was just wondering if anyone has had to have their gallbladder out when they had their surgery (at the same time) or shortly after?

The results was I have gallstones. Talked to my Dr and he said he will take it out with my surgery (he is also going to fix a Hernia). So having 3 surgeries on 1. He told me that if my pain got worse to call him and he would take my gallbladder out and then wait about 6 wk and do the surgery. I'm hoping to just hold out for the surgery though.

Not trying to intrude, just curious. How did everyone's lives change after the sleeve or after losing weight? I appreciate everyone. Thank you

Hey, I was wondering if anybody would like to tell how the sleeve changed their life with PCOS. I am having my surgery somewhere between October and November and am struggling with trying to get a grip on what will happen after surgery. Is it easier or harder after surgery to lose weight with PCOS? I appreciate everything and thank you ahead of time!

I would ask your surgeon. Everybody is different.

I had an Endoscopy yesterday, after I woke up and got ready to leave the doctor came in. He gave me pictures from the scope and told me he had found a small Hiatal Hernia. He said he should be able to remove it when I have my surgery. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi, my name is Ashley, I have PCOS and I am thinking about getting the sleeve, I've pretty much made up my mind, but I'd like to know about what some one who has gone through it had trouble with, didn't have trouble with, meds, what to eat, how it's been effective to losing weight, and any more info you could give me would be great! Thank You

My name is Ashley. I am 19 years old and going to nursing school. Before middle school, I was tiny, but when I got to middle school all this weight piled on. So, when I was 16 I went to a weight loss doctor for kids to join a program to eat healthy and exercise. Dr. Jefferies wanted to do some blood work thinking I had Cushings. The lab work came back negative for Cushings but positive for PCOS. She told me they usually don't catch PCOS young but since we did we needed to start me on medication early. I was started on Metformin and BC. I was told with metformin I had 6 months to lose as much weight as I could, I lost 40 pounds, but I gained it all back. A few days ago, I went back to the WLC and talked to a Dr. Who does weight loss surgeries. I wanted to explore my options and use surgery as a last resort. When he came in we talked about it but he told me my only option would be surgery since other meds would mess w my heart dz and family history. I start my RN in August for Saturday school and an LPN school full time in October. He said if I have it soon I would lose over 100 lb by the end of the yr. I've been talking to my mom and if I get everything done and have the surgery in August, I should be ready for my full time LPN class. Has anybody had the surgery with PCOS? What should I expect and can I get some advice? Thank you Sent from my HTC One_M8 using the BariatricPal App

It's ok. I typed it into the search thing and found it Thank you so much!

It's taking me to a lapband lady is that it?

Hope everything goes well! I follow a PCOS group on Facebook which is when I first came out and asked about the WLS. The only response I had gotten was from a lady saying her friend had it, got pregnant, and gained all of it back. But I've seen people who have had it and kept it off after having a baby. But I don't plan on having kids anytime soon. Maybe in my twenties, but not at The moment. Thank you for sharing with me!
