Little difficult to decipher exactly what your saying here because most letters are missing from half the words in your sentence. But I believe what you are saying is that you are basing your decision to have surgery on the chance that it MIGHT correct the symptoms of PCOS. There is no yes or no answer to that question. For some women, the weight loss does correct their symptoms and for some women it does not. There is no guarantee.

Typically want to avoid alcohol prior to surgery. For one you are attempting to shrink your liver, making it process alcohol, is making it work harder. Alcohol also dehydrates you which is exactly the opposite of what you want to be doing. Even just a glass.. its best to avoid.

I buy biotin shampoo and conditioner from Purtian's Pride. I like Jason's. http://www.puritan.com/shampoo-conditioner-037?Mcid=70

Yes, under the "weigh-In" tab under the tool bar on the left hand side. If you're using the app, I believe its under "Progress".

Def need a supplement tracker, agreed! That's my only MFP complaint.

Took one two days ago, had no problems.

I was told 2 weeks :/

October 24th here. Four weeks post op today and down 20 pounds. I'm only eating 1/4 cup at a time. I'm getting anywhere between 340 to 540 calories a day, 40 to 60 grams of protein. I'm actually feeling pretty good...just sad my boobs are getting smaller :/. Im on myfitnesspal if you want to friend me I'm enoordhoorn.

10,000mcg Biotin daily

In those instances you'd take the medication with just enough water to get them down. I do this with my Biotin.

nectar unflavored is the only Protein powder I use. I mix it with everything, liquids and food. It's great.

Sounds like a panic attack. You scared yourself! Lightly soap your incisions and rinse...no picking! You'll be ok

I feel exactly the same way.

I am hypoglycemic, 3 1/2 weeks post op and average 370 - 480 calories a day. Three meals, three snack, multi-vitamin, b-12. I have plenty of energy and sleep very well at night now. The only carbs I get are usually from the one cup of milk I have every night with my protein powder. Friend me on myfitnesspal if you'd like. I'm sure you'll be fine. Best wishes!

Not the case at all. I'm on several medications that I resumed taking the day after surgery. Some surgeons advise against time release pills because they don't sit in your stomach long enough. My surgeon says no medication in capsule form unless I open the capsule because they usually don't stay in the stomach long enough to dissolve. But not all surgeons have the same rule. The best thing for you to do is talk to your surgeons office about this AND take comfort in knowing that a lot of us on here take medication with no problems post-op.

Most stores that sell maternity clothes should have the bands. You can also look on motherhood.com they have plus size maternity clothes so I'm sure they have larger belly bands as well.

You could try a pregnancy belly band. Some find those really helpful right out of surgery. I'm not a back sleeper either and had trouble with that too. I have to be on my right side to fall asleep. I lined pillows along my right side in bed and slowly turned onto them resting my belly and left leg on the pillows. It kept the muscle from pulling and allowed me to sleep on my side comfortably. I did that for about two weeks.

I have a dent also. At three weeks post op, its gone down some, but still remains visable. Its where the surgeon went through the muscle and removed the stomach. I still feel the muscle pain a bit because, at two weeks post op, I turned the wrong way too suddenly and pulled the muscle. A heating pad really helps.

Sometimes just talking about it with someone can make a world of difference.

LOL I know, right!

Hehe totally true though! I talk right back to it. Makes my husband crack up at me lol!
