PCOS Bandsters (pre and post op)

[mypov 0]

Well I'm on day 5 post op and today my period came. Lovely. The cramps and bloating added to the soreness and gassiness- SIGH. I guess I should take it as a positive that my period is coming on its own, but I just didn't want to deal with it quite yet.

How's everyone else doing?

Mypov, we have the same band doc! He's amazing. They are the best in Utah

Anyhow, I had PCOS my whole life until I lost about 50 pounds. I know it has disappeared. All the symptoms have disappeared. Blood sugar and triglycerides normal now. Periods back to normal... The weight loss can fix it!

Puddin- I took a look at your before and afters- you are so gorgeous! I would love love LOVE to be rid of PCOS. In fact, knowing the health problems that pcos can cause in my future was a MAJOR motivation for me going through with the surgery.

I really like Dr. Hansen. When they wheeled me into the OR the last thing I remember is the nurses telling me that Dr. Hansen was so great and they'd trust him to operate on them any day!! Then it all got blurred in with the christmas music they were pumping in the room and I was out. :faint:

I've also emailed the staff asking questions and they've always gotten back to me in MINUTES. SO glad to have found them!

Thanks for the sweet compliment! I'm sure as you lose the weight the PCOS will either go away or diminish. And yes, Dr. Hansen is fantastic. But I have been MORE impressed with the staff. They really, really care about you.
