123 lbs, WOW! Great job!

Good job! Can I ask what type of exercise you started with and what you progressed to?

Thank you ladies for sharing your stories with us! I know it gives me a lot of comfort hearing women in similar situations have success with weight loss!

Okay Ladies I need a little help. I am having surgery tomorrow and being the control freak that I am I wanted to know the average rate of weight loss in women with PCOS. I've heard that PCOS slows the process down but just for my reference I would like to hear from any lady's who have experience in the matter. I want to make sure I'm on track every step of the way. Any and all info is welcomed!

Congratulations and good luck!!

I want some of all of yours! But I will definitely add one of my own. It's pretty high on my list too! Ride My Motorcycle without looking like one of the Fat Twins!!! LOL!!

Way to go girl!! I'm suppose to have mine this Friday! Since they cancelled my last app about 3hrs before I'm not too excited. I'll be happy when I wake up after the surgery and all is good and done!

Lol, you would be surprised how fast time goes by. I wish I would have addressed this issue before I was ready to have children then I wouldn't have to wait so long. But hey at least it gives us time to prepare!

That sounds like a wonderful problem to have! Congrats!

Wow! That is so great! Congratulations!! Keep up the amazing work!

@ Danielle-That is so great that you and your cousin have each other for support. As for children... You and I are on the same page. Congratulations on your journey so far and keep up the good work!

Congratulations! Please keep us updated on your progress!

Woohoo!! Congrats!!

Woohoo! Congrats!!

Oh No!! I'm starting to freak out. My hubby came home sick with cold/flu! I tried to keep my distance but I think he got me sick! My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 16th and I don't want to reschedule for the 3rd time! What should I do?! I don't even know if I can drink any cold/flu meds?! HELP?!

Congrats and good luck!

First off let me say I'm sorry for your loss. Second, you sound like an amazingly strong woman! I think you have a great attitude and I wish you the best of luck!

Wow! You look great! Congrats!!

Welcome! I haven't been banded yet so can't speak for that. But as far as the Depo shot... I hated it! I took it a few years back. It was one of the major reasons I began to gain weight! I sincerely hope it hasn't had the same affect on you. But if you've noticed more weight gain while on it, I would consider changing my birth control. Good luck! =)

I was originally scheduled for 12/5 but my Doc got sick so it got pushed back to 12/16. I too have PCOS and am looking to conceive. I also know what you mean about "negative people". Just focus on you and nothing else matters. It's your time now! Good luck!

Wow Nikki! Great news! Congratulations!

I am so sorry to hear about your ordeal MeMeMEE. I hope you get better soon and all this ordeal is behind you. Wish you luck!

May I ask what your starting bra size was?

Sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better.

When I decided on the sleeve I started with the hubby. His response was "If that's what you want, do it". After him and I were on the same page I began to tell the siblings, my mom and my best friend. I was completely honest and told them I would listen to their concerns and answer all the questions I could. But it was MY decision in the end an I wasn't searching for approval! My family and I are very opinionated so I was expecting a fight. But to my surprise they have been 100% on board! They all keep checking on me making sure I do all my pre-op requirements and have already started planing for life after the sleeve. I have to say it's nice to have their support but even if I didn't have it my decision would still be the same regardless. It's true that all surgeries carry risk but the burden my family would have if I become diabetic and lost a limb or had a severe heart attack (which is a very real possibility) would be greater!
