I'm not judging you, I'm struggling with my own addiction (food) but having worked in the Healthcare field I've seen the after effects. Please don't give in to the craving! Get some help! You've got this! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I have a nose/mouth mask because I can't breathe through my nose at all. You should be able to adjust the humidity levels and a heated tube really helps.

Hello folks, I am new and so excited to have a way to connect to others going through the same thing as me. I had my consultation with my surgeon on 12/30/16 and didn't get an appointment with my nutritionist until 1/19/17. So far I have had my blood work completed and sent to the surgeon, my gastroenterologist consultation is 3/16/17 and my sleep study appointment is next week. I have yet to set up my psychologist/psychiatric appointment. I feel like the actions of having weight loss surgery are so far away but I know that it will get her before I know it. Q: Do you need both a psychiatric and psychological approval? I have this feeling that I need both but I'm not sure. I am so excited for to next months as I prepare for surgery. I look forward to connecting with you and hearing about your journeys! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

There is rarely a max limit to consumption. However, the body can only absorb so much.. The rest is wasted The key is to exceed the minimum (60g)..

The only thing I would be worried about would be infection. I would call my doctor just to let them know. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

60g is the least. Up to 100g is fine. Really the more you consume isn't going to hurt. It'll simply make you fuller longer. You just want to make sure you're staying under the carb and calorie max.

Hey there, I got sleeved for the same reason. My surgery was just Monday but my surgeon agreed WLS was the best option to cure my insulin resistance that came with my PCOS. My surgeon did recommend waiting 2 years to start trying however I changed to a GYNO that is on the bariatric board and she is very familiar with what I'm going through. She told me a year and I will have definitely be able to have a healthy normal pregnancy. The biggest reason to wait has to do with the shock your body goes through after the major weight loss. I recommend finding a GYNO that has had other patients with PCOS that have had WLS. It helped me drastically! Good luck to you!!
