Just a little some thing to boggle some minds............ I was given a really yummy strawberry milkshake in the hospital 2 days after surgery instructed by my surgeon! Why? Because he believes in getting protiene from real food and not artificial protiene shakes. I did not have to do a pre op diet, I have never had any form of protiene supliment, I never count calories. I have still lost 107lb and am only 20lb from goal! I am defiantly a everything in moderation girl. Its why I chose the sleeve, it helps me to only eat a little and it has worked for me. But everyone is different and each persons health care provider will advise them differently.

Ps. I had scans at my heavest and my ovaries were looking very scary and full of cysts. They could not find any dominant egg foilcales. I was scanned again a few months ago and they told me I was prone to twins! They found dominant foilcales on both sides of my ovaries! I remain ever hopeful to be pregnant by the end of thus year!

Hi all. I am now 15 months post op and have pcos too. I have lost 107lb so far with about another 20lb to go. I also had the sleeve to improve my fatillity and become a parent. I have noticed huge improvements. My cycle before could range anywhere from 35-60 days and now AF comes every 29-35 days. I don't ovulate every month but most months I do where before at my heavest I had tests and my levels were so low I was told I would need assistance to get pregnant! I am still waiting for baby dust to be sprinkled on me but I am more hopeful now that I will be able to conceive with as little help as possible! My skin is so much better too, I still get the occasional spot where as before I always had spots! I am so great full every day that my amazing parents and partner were able to support me to have the sleeve it has changed my life. Xxxxxxx

DOS 13 may 11 - 279 no pre op diet 15 months later 174 20lb to loose. This is happening slower but it is also giving me time to get to know what my new body really looks like. I still look in the plus size section!

15 months post op down 105lb. 18lb to go! I have swam 3 times a week from 2 weeks out and cycled from 6weeks out. I love my sleeve!

I swam 4 times a week from about 3 weeks after the op. now I mix it up with running and cycling. (null)

I'm 5'7 was 279lb day of op May 2011 today I'm 191lb. Today is 8 months since my op I've gone from a uk size 22 to a size 14. I love my sleeve!!! Good luck on your journey! X (null)

Hey all. I too have pcos. I have been sleeved for 7 months and have lost 81lb. So it evens out to be about 11 lb a month. I am Very pleased with this as before my sleeve I would have lost maybe 2/3 stone max by my self and then put it back on again. Now I have been loosing for 7 months and I know it's for the last time! My cycle has been more regular but still not the same amount of days each month. The biggest improvement for me has been the reduction in pain. I only took pain meds once this last month! Amazing! I love my sleeve and I am More hopeful about being a mummy soon! X (null)

I totally understand this. Me and my mum both were sleeved within two weeks and she has lost 4.5 stone and I have lost 5.5 stone. We have not shared with many people and my aunt, my mums sister is one who does not know we see each other about once a month and she is the only one in our family who has not made a comment! I think she is jealous as she is still a larger lady and she can't bear to see us looking healthy and slimmer! I really don't care much for her but I know it upsets My Mum that her own sister is not happy for her! (null)

Coops you are looking amazing! I love reading your up dates as I'm also a uk sleever! I'm still dreaming of a uk14 but I hope she is in the near future for me. I'm a 16 at the moment so maybe father Christmas will bring me this gift! Lol Keep up the amazing work! X x x

May 13th 2011 75lb gone forever! I love my sleeve each and every day! ????????

In the words of the famous movie, yes, yes, yes! I always thought my bedroom life was good but wow now it's amazing. I feel more confident and my beautiful man friend is very happy too! ????

My surgeon told me to stop taking them as the weight loss would Help sort out the pcos and sure enough 4 months out and my cycle is like clockwork! I'm not saying your daughter should just stop them but maybe talk to your doc about it! Good luck to your daughter! X x.

Brilliant! I really did lol! I say wear it for as long as you wish and shake that batty where ever u go! Well done u! X x

My surgon gave me a DVD of my op! It was scary and rather gross! But the thing that scared me the most was the amount of fat clogging up my insides! Keeps me strong when I want sine chocolate I tell ya! Lol
