Hard couple of weeks



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am 72lbs down and almost 4 months out. Not a bad way to start off on the sleeve. But I've

been having a bad last 2 weeks! Due to PCOS I believe I started bleeding June 21st and with a couple of interventions,the bleeding is much better now.

Although the last few days I have been on ortho novum 1/35 taking 4 tabs a day for 5 days. The bleeding has actually stopped the 2nd day or so. The problem is that my weight has hardly budged these last 2 rotten weeks! I am getting FRUSTRATED.

I believe most of this is due to my hormones going nuts and my body not knowing what to do....perhaps from such fast weight loss? Perhaps my body is being flooded with estrogen?

(I had a D&C and received 2 units of blood June 30th due to the bleeding)

Actually, shouldn't PCOS get BETTER with weight loss??

How can I get back on track with my weight loss and focus? Should I go back to a clear or full liquid diet for a week or so?

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, I'M LOSING MY MIND HERE!

Thanks, Dinah (Hope this wasn't too confusing)

This does sound frusterating! However, you do need to LIVE through bleeding and complications first.....then you can have the luxury to lose weight. Please be kind to yourself. Don't lose sight on what's most important! Trust your body to know when it needs to protect itself.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
