This is my last two weeks before I submit to insurance before approval, it's been a long hard 3 month diet (hats off to everyone who has to do 6 month or more). I have pcos which makes it hard to lose weight, hence why I am having WLS. So I've been very strictly for 3 months sticking to my 90 carb and 100 grams of Protein diet I walk 2 miles atleast 5 days a week I attend a hour hip hop case once a week and Water cardio every Saturday. So today I go to put my jeans on and I can barely get them buttoned. In reality I know it's most likely the pcos preventing me from losing, I'm terrified that I will be unsuccessful even with surgery. Is it possible some people can't lose weight at all?! I'm so upset!!!

@AudreyDarling I have PCOS too, and I know all too well how hard it is to lose weight. I feel like all I had to do was look at carbs and I would gain ten pounds easily. No joke. I am 7 months out from VSG and I have lost 97 pounds since surgery and 108 pounds since I started my journey. As long as you stick to your surgeon and NUT's plan you will be successful! Work out as much as you can when you are allowed to do so. This tool works, as long as you use it correctly. Good Luck to you!

      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.
