I'm new here & pre surgery but I have PCOS too and I'm grateful to hear so many success stories because I have my own fears about losing the weight. It has always been so hard & slow to lose weight for me and I worry if I will lose weight with surgery the way so many others have or if it will be difficult because of my PCOS. I have about 200lbs to lose but I am hopeful!

I think (in my case anyway) IMO that its harder for me with PCOS to lose weight...even with the band...I lost 12 lbs in the past month but I'm not counting on that to be the norm every month & my doc says it can even be 1/2 lbs or less a week losing...but I'm Ok with ANY weight loss as you can see I have to lose 200+ also but I am just going to take it one day at a time... and face each day as it comes...that's all I can do.. I am keeping a positive outlook no matter what! I believe in the power of positive thinking :-) It's Hard work & it's Not easy but I know we can do it!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
