Went for preop (surgery date March 15) and found out I have an ear infection so on antibiotics and asthma is bad so xray and steroids. REALLY do not want to have to postpone surgery again - especially after being on the preop diet - but lost 10 pounds in one week! I love this group and good luck to those this week - I haven't mentioned my doctor is Trace Curry in Cincinnati.

I have PCOS too. And it was actually an internist at Vanderbilt Hospital that told me she has PCOS patients that eat like birds and work out seven days a week and can only lose 20% of their weight. She said that is the maximum you can lose with PCOS without surgery. When she first mentioned surgery I cried. I has taken 3 years for me to decide to do it but now March 15 is just around the corner. One of the reasons I am getting the sleeve is the doc said the lap band wouldn't work as well with me. I'm much happier getting the sleeve. But I know how you feel - I too am worried that I won't lose anything. Keep the faith - everyone in my docs practice (and he has done 3,000 weight loss surgeries) has lost weight if they stuck to the program. And if we keep each other on track that can help! [

Seems like we have a lot in common - first and foremost March 15 surgery date! PCOS and military too! Preop diet started yesterday - not too bad so far. Nice to have others doing the same thing.
