Hello Everyone,

I am new here! My name is Ashley and I am officially one week away from having VSG Surgery (It has been a looonnngg process). I was originally scheduled in March but the Coronavirus messed things up and it was cancelled. I wanted to have this surgery because I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) which is a hormonal imbalance disorder. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for quite some time now and after many different treatments with no success, and after doing research on VSG surgery, I knew that this was what I needed to do. I can not wait to see how this changes my life. :) Is there anyone else out there with PCOS? If so, did surgery help you in any way?

What's your date? I don't have PCOS...but I've heard many women have had success conceiving after WLS...I pray that it is the same for you![emoji3059]

It's MY time!

I'm scheduled for 05/12/2020, and I also have PCOS. Really hoping that we'll have an easier time after the sleeve!

I hope everything has gone/is going well! 💗My sleeve date is 6/22 and i have PCOS as well. Fertility is one of the reasons i decided to go through with this procedure (aside from wanting a generally longer/healthier life). I figured this would be more affordable than IVF and i will get the body I’ve always wanted in the process! 😂

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
