I had to come to the hospital before surgery have to have blood work, ekg and chest xray. I never had gallbladder issues, pancreas issues or liver issues before. After surgery is when this happen. I had my liver checked months before surgery by my Pcp. She checks everything. I read that gallbladder issues is come with WLS.
I have really bad cycles do to the Pcos. I bleed for like 3 months. I went to my ob and surgery doc before to make sure I could have this surgery. They said yes. It would help. I was told today before surgery, that my cycles and all gallbladder issues and everything else could have caused all the heavy bleeding. When I tell you my cycles have been bad, they have. Plus I was taking off my birth control and put back on it. Taken off again but back on it. That was messing me up too. I was losing a lot of blood. My surgery doctor said I needed blood. He said I was pale.
Im grateful right now . Because I got the help, I needed which is oh so important. After surgery my cycle slowed down.
I had to explain to my friends and family that my body is different from the next. I knew the risk. I went to three different doctors they told me that this surgery would be best for me. I tried to diet own my own before. With Pcos we carry fat that's hard to get rid of. I was 250. Im 195 now. I lost a little more weight. Don't have insulin issues anymore. I don't take high blood pressure medications and im not at risk for heart disease and certain cancers. With Pcos you are at risk for all of that and more. Losing the weight and keeping it off is key for me.
