How is that possible? They reconnect the stomach then sleeve it? Cooool. I'm going to look that up.

Thank you THANK YOU for reassuring me. Overall, I just want to be healthy and see the effects of this curse known as PCOS Go away. I was so sold on the sleeve... But cold feet got me wondering. I am still sticking with the sleeve!

Hi all! I'm 27 years old, 250lbs and 5'2 with a bmi of 46. I have PCOS and my surgery date is 2-18-13. I'm worried that maybe I should go for the bypass instead. I really would prefer the sleeve because of malabsorption issues and the whole re-routing thing scares me. I'm afraid the sleeve isn't restrictive enough and that I'm not going to lose the weight. I am a serious carb addict and PCOS makes everything so much harder. I am working on my eAting issues but truthfully, I'm afraid the sleeve will allow me to cheat too easily. I need honesty! HELP!

Me too please!

Ha. Let him chuckle! If I don't get there that's fine but I will try my hardest, that's all I can do! Frankly, even the thought of 160 feels like heaven!

I will! I'm 5'2 and 247. Goal weight is 130. SIL getting married in October in Jamaica. I WILL BE wearing a pretty bathing suit and feeling confidant by then.

I confess that I'm afraid to be thin, it's an unknown thing. I confess I am afraid that my marriage will change. I confess that I constantly feel like I will fail and not lose/ gain it back. I confess that I'm looking forward to getting some positive attention. I confess that I'm not trying hard pre-op to lose weight before surgery. I hate this fact.

I'm getting sleeved Feb 18th. I have a 4 month old at home. Anyone else go through the surgery w an infant at home? My husband will be home for 3 days and my mom can help but, I'm worried I won't be able to pick him up. He's about 16 lbs... I'm nervous...

Pre op feb 5th, surgery February 18th! Doc hasn't said anything about changing my diet yet... Weird... Cannot wait. I have been counting the days for 6 years and dreaming about the upcoming changes. So close yet so far. Sometimes I feel like it won't work for me but I'm telling myself to not go in fearing failure but to expect success... Its hard to retrain your brain after do many years.
