Forgot to mention...I got the sleeve not to get pregnant, but because I had given up on getting pregnant. I wanted to get healthier and feel better about myself. For the first time I was doing something selfish. I wanted to take care of me for once.

Sucess story.............Hello everyone I want to tell me story..I was told I had pcos since I was 18, im now 30. Me and my hisband have been trying to have baby for over 9 years with no luck. I took clomid ( fertility drug) and went to several specialist. I got married when I weight 145 and years later got to 200. It may not seem like much but im short 5'1. I only had one period per year which was not normal. My pcos symtoms were awful. Well in the last five years I had three failed IVF's ( artificial insimination ) with no luck at at...... my doc did say my over weight was a factor. Well to make things worse I also had a tube blocked. My little chances were cut down to 50% . I decided to have the sleeve last year in Oct 02 2012. Im currently 9months post op. After the surgery I hardly had any sex.....maybe like three times after six months post op. In April I had lost 55 lb, I was down to my old self when I first got married. That month I got pregnant. How, I have no clue ,pure miracle. Im currently 14 weeks pregnant and feeling great. I had also started taking metformin during that time. Although I would forget for days to take it. I think I took it for like a month or so.

I am 5'1 and my highest weight was 200. During my pre op diet of two weeks i only lost like 7 lb .weight of surgery was 193 and im currently 6 weeks post op. My current weight is 172. Down 28lb. I feel like im loosing slow but its ok cuz it will help with lose skin.

Well ladies just an update.... on jan 2, I will be exactly 3 months post op and my current weight is 158lb. 42 lb in three minths with no exercise is not bad at all.

I have jeans that are size. 11, 12,14

The 11 dont fit yet but my my size 14 are loose now. My question is how much if a difference is 11 and 14. I guess i dont understand the odds and even numbers. Is a 11 same as a 12?

What r ur meals like. I have ran out of ideas. Plus i dont do shakes anymore and need more ideas to make my Protein goal. Im still on soft foods. I am also loosing very slowly, its been about two weeks now since i have lost anything

What symtems are you guys suffering from besides the weight gain. Mine are lots of Hair loss, acne, facial hair

I am tired of just eating yogurt, cottach cheese, cheese sticks, sf pudding, shrimp. I need a meal plan for the whole day to get in my 60oz. Please help

I'm 30 years and I have tried everything to get pregnant but nothing. I even did 3 IVF with no success. My symptoms besides the weight gain is Hair loss. Did you get a lot of hair loss. Is there anything you did to make it better.

I had that pain my second week post op. today I did yoga and I was bending and doing some really weird stuff and had no pain.

Well for years I was only getting my period Twice a year. I got my period the day of my surgery which I thought was weird and another one today. Today is my 4 weeks post op. I'm just in shock I have a period two months in a row.

I'm with you on clothes. I've also lost 40 and one size. I must have been holding my breath for a couple of years!

What happens is that when we loss weight with just cutting calories we loose a large percentage in body mass. That is why it's recommended to exercise or weight lift. Hope this helps?

Is there only who had a sleeve who has pcos and symptoms have improved since weight loss?

I was sleeved on oct 2 which makes me 4 weeks post op, today I tried yoga at the gym and let me tell you it's was really hard. It was also kind of embarrassing because my body could not move, stretch, and bend like the rest. My gut was in the way and could not even hold a balance. However, I think my stomach might be heals because nothing hurt, I'm just relieved I can start my new life and try new things.

I know exactly what pain your talking anout. It feels like someone stabed you in the stomach also there is a real burning sensation. I had mine like 5 days poat op. First days were ok but on the fifth day getting off the bed i felt an awful pain. The weird thing is that it only hurt when i moved certain ways like getting up or leaning forward. I swore i thought this type if pain would last weeks to heal. For the next couple of days i sat in the couch and did not move from there. A week later the pain just stopped. Try this lay on your back and touch your stomach to see if you feel the pain. If you dont than its probably one of the staples being pulled. Its not dangerous but it hurts like hell. I promise it will go away.

Three weeks post op and i started on soft foods. You ladies were not wrong, 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese takes forever to eat. I feel like i juat ate two double cheeseburgers. Also far my overall weight loss is 23lb. Doea anybody know where i can get some Protein pudding?

Pre op. 200

SD. 190

1st week. 185

2nd week. 180

3rd week. 177

Have not exercised at all, not even walked but that is about to change today.

Wanted to get some input on how many calories ,carbs, sugar, and Protein are you guys consuming and are loosing at a good rate. I was told to eat 50g of protein but i was not adviced on the rest.

I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow and of the whole experience the worst part was when they pulled the drain. I cant really explain the feeling but it made me sick to my stomach. Even now i get nauseas just thinking about it. The RN kept pulling and it felt like forever. Im mot kidding you but when the drain was pulled out, there was blood on the floor, sheets, wall, and iv stand.

I am now 2 weeks out and it has gotten alot better the first week was the worst so it does get better

Yolo

I agree i really i.was going to suffer more than two weeks but now i feel great. Almost like nothing happen. I was sleeved Oct 2 and reading all your post helped me get through. Thank you guys for sharing it really.got me through.

I dont get it i thought this place was a support forum. Anybody who has had a sleeve would know that there is nothing easy about it. I really think that a sleeve.surgery like a band should not be reserved for obese people only. Anybody that says they are doing this procesure for health reasons only is a lie. The risks of WLS are no different than a boob job or a Tummy Tuck. Ladies we must come to terms that in a couple of years this procedure will be available to a bigger market. Remember ladies the sleeve will teach you to eat healthier. We live in a time where america does not know what health eating is. Supermodel i hope you dont get discourage.

A personal question did you get alot of loose skin. My highest weight was 200 and im getting scared that i will have alot of loose skin. I dont think i can go through another surgery like a Tummy Tuck.< /p>

I have a personal question did you get a lift. You just look amazing.

I too have what is considered lower BMI 5'51/2 wt 195# with hx of high cholesterol and strong family hx of diabetes and cardiac dz. I have been following this site for quite a while hoping to find someone like me. The physician I chose is local and I will be paying cash since don't meet insurance requirements. He reconfirmed with me why wait until I reach morbid obesity with multiple co-morbidities. scheduled for nov 1 so now really starting to doubt my decision. I know this is just part of the reality and that everyone has these feelings. Just can't wait til it's over!

Im also 5'1 weighed 190 on surgery day. Im currently 2 weeks post and current weight is 180. Most of my weight is on my chest and tummy. I choose to do the surgery now and not weight till i was really obese. The best part is my surgery was aproved my insurance. Best decision i ever made. I hope to live a long and healthy life. Best of luck

Two days ago i had the worst stabbing pain. I trully believed it was going to last at least another month to heal. However yesterday and today nothing hursts. I feel like the day before surgery. The pain just went away. I wont make that same mistake of bending over anytime soon
