Nervous and excited PCOS'R getting sleeved Monday!



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I am brand new here. I have chosen to go with the sleeve due to malabsorbtion issues, and I just didnt think the band would cut the 130 lbs I want to lose.. Problem is I have had PCOS a long time and I am worried that my crappy metabolism wont do its thing even with the surgery. I have finally wrapped my head around the mental stuff through continued counseling, and I am up to the challenge of the physical aspect of eating right. I would love any advice. I am scared to have it done but at the same time with Diabetes, PCOS, high chloesterol etc... I just wanna be here for my kids!

I've had PCOS for about 10 years and I had surgery 10 weeks ago tomorrow. I have lost 49 pounds, I know I still have a long way to go but

I just wanted to let you know that you'll do just fine.

What is PCOS?

Poly cystic ovarian syndrome, a metabolic disorder that causes insulin resistance that causes weight gain as well as high blood pressure, high cholorestorl and difficulty conceiving and a few other things. Some of us have all the symptoms, some have a few.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
