Hey -fellow Okie, I know of 2 people with PCOS that got pregnant after having the sleeve. The bypass would be a great tool to restore your hormones to balance. They were told to wait at least 1 year before trying. I have PCOS, and my first child came naturally, but due to secondary infertility (yeah PCOS sucks) I did IVF to conceive my second and then had a hysterectomy. I am anxious to see if it helps other symptoms of PCOS besides fertility in my case. Good luck!!!

Tulsa area and used Bailey in Owasso. I'm one week out today and have had a few rough days, but overall minor compared to having a major surgery. What made you decide on the bypass vs sleeve.

Are you using Dr. Katsis??? He is mine and I love him. Can't say enough great things about him. He is at surgical associates and went to ORU.

You are in good hands!!! He is a trained trauma surgeon with a really good reputation. He really is very good at what he does. I had started to doubt myself, because I couldn't find anyone who used him at Bailey and then I went to a support group in April and everyone had used him including the director of the program for both himself and his wife. No one had anything but praise for him. I liked Bailey and it had to be done at their facility for my insurance or I probably would have looked at a more streamlined program. Bailey hospital is a hidden gem. I have told my husband if I have any other scheduled procedures, I would choose them hands down. In an emergency situation, I would still go to St. Francis.

I am doing okay at 1 week post op. I can say that the gas pain/pressure is no joke! I woke up in recovery in pain. He does allow the use of good drugs while you are in the hospital to control it. Toradol worked better than oxycotin and hydrocodone in my case. I was walking and using the restroom within 10min of being wheeled into my room. I have had a few rough days, but overall feel better each day. I'm just gassy and bloated still. I think it takes a while for it to subside. I feel like I have 50% of my energy. I am working every day to get my Protein in and my hydration levels up. That is the number one cause for readmittance. I took 2 weeks off and I think I will be ready to go back to work when the time comes.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
