  1. Thats awesome congrats. I tried clomid one month and I got pregnant and miscarried at 5 weeks. It scared me to death and made me re-evalute everything. I need to lose weight first.
  2. Same page as you. My lapband slipped. I was doing so good on it, but I gained most of the weight back. I never got to really see if it worked for my pcos. I will be 30 in June and i fell the train is passing me by.
  3. Thank you ladies for yours stories. ... It helps a lot to be part of this support group.
  4. I am going to get sleeved on October 30th. The main reasons being because I want to be healthy and because I have PCOS and it is hard for me to have a baby. I want to know has it become easier to get pregnant for those ladies that have lost weight? Or for the women that it was hard to get pregnant before their surgery. Just feel down I just found out 2 of my cousins are pregnant. I want a light at the end of my tunnel.

  7. Oh you do.... well first day is complete. I know what you mean about going number 1 i went a lot day. I am scared of dehydration.
  8. Thank you for that. ... there is a light to the end of my dark tunnel. My food intake is pretty limited its either light fit yogurt,raw veggies, v8 juice, protein shakes and or sugar free jello. I can do this.
  9. Congrats on a new chance for a different healthier life!
  10. Man oh man i just started the unjury diet which my surgeon uses. Its been a rough day so far everything reminds me of food. My mind and heart is in it though. I have to do this for myself.
  11. When I got my approval letter it was good for 6 months.

  15. Yay ratkin a buddy! When does your pre op diet start?
  16. Thanks sarahr.... i appreciate that are you sleeved already?
  17. I am getting sleeved on the 30th... I got the band in 2011. I did great i started pre surgery i was 410 i got down to 330,but surprise surprise my band slipped. I gained back 55lbs. Its just such a big problem. Hopefully the sleeve will do all the band promised.
  18. Thanks Patty. I didn't have it at first, but as time progressed its getting tighter. I appreciate your input!
  19. Thank you very much for your input! I will definitely give them a call tomorrow.
  20. So does anyone have a problem to where they sleep on their stomach and they get acid reflux? I am 7 months post op and I have about 10cc in my 14 cc band. There has been a big difference with this fill. I never used to throw up and now I do ( only when I don't chew as well) I also started getting acids reflux at night. Anyone else with this problem?
  21. Although with any chest pain you should talk to your doctor. I also had that for a little over a week after I got banded. It is trapped gas also when I drank apparently I would swallow a lot of air then also. Hope this helps gas x and heating pads is what helped me. It will get better
  22. Well judging by your pic you look great! good job
  23. It's pretty bad it will get better heating pad, walking around and gas x helped me. Mine was all the air they put in me. That's usually the pain everyone feels. Good luck and congrats
  24. Oh wow was your BMI even 30 or did you have co- morbidites? Well I am happy that your doing a good job over there!
