Same here. I was sleeved 4/16 and my sex drive went out the window. Never had trouble before. I have had some complications so that may have hindered my libido. I feel so sorry for my hubby. He is being patient though. He'll tease me and be like "just touch it" or "woller it in your mouth". The thought of that right now makes me gag. Never had the problem before. Hope it gets better for us soon.

I'll be happy if I never have to eat cottage cheese, applesauce, jello, or pudding ever again!

When I started my 6 month process my a1c was over 10. Was sleeved 4/16 and just had blood work last week. My a1c is now 6.6. I haven't had to take a shot of insulin since my surgery. It's a wonderful feeling not having to stab yourself with a needle 4-5 times a day!

I'm barely a c cup but usually just get b cups. I haven't noticed a cup size change but have had to adjust to the tightest band. Ugh. If I lose what lil boobs I have, definitely getting a boob job when I hit my goal.

Yes it will be a bad one. I have pcos and hadn't had a period in almost 2 years. I spotted the day after my surgery. 4/16 Nothing major. Three days ago, it started with a vengeance. It's like the Texas chainsaw massacre is going on in there. Tmi I know. Worst period I've had in my life and its not let up any yet. Surgeon said estrogen would slam me after I lost so much and restart them. I'm down 60 pounds and he was right. I didn't miss this at all bit glad my body is trying to get back to normal.

Of course I had to go through the 6 month stuff but had zero trouble from BCBSMI.

I don't regret anything either. I had a few complications after surgery that made me regret it for a while. I had a major gout attack in my left knee and foot. Couldn't walk for almost 3 weeks. Now that I'm better, it's totally worth it. I couldn't do it on my own. No more insulin, bp meds cut down. It's wonderful. Hopefully no more gout attacks!

Did anyone else's hormones go nuts after surgery? I was sleeved 4/16. Shortly after that George jones died (I'm a huge country music fan just not this new country crap). I cried for days and still tear up if I hear one of his songs. That's not all. One minute I'm happy, the next I'm bawling like a baby. For no reason. My surgeon said that the more weight I lose, the more estrogen will be put in my body so my hormones would be whacked. I'm so tired of the ups and downs. I'm starting to even tear up writing this. Anyone else going/went through the same thing? It's embarrassing but my husband is really supportive but I know it must be driving him nuts, too. Any ideas for relief or help?

Sleeved 4/16 and down 60 pounds.

Haven't noticed anything yet. I'm just now a month out. I did, however, start my period the day after surgery and I hadn't had one for over a year. My hormones are kinda whacky. One minute I'm happy the next I'm crying for no reason. Surgeon said the more weight I lose the more estrogen is going to be released. So it may be a wild ride for us with our changing hormones.

I was 18 when I was diagnosed. It's a pain in the rear. And no one else understands unless they have it, too.

Try Garnier Fructis fall fight shampoo and conditioner and products. It has biotin and caffeine in it to help with hair loss and breakage. I lose my hair because of pcos and I've noticed a big difference since starting this regime. I hope it continues to help when I hit that 3-4 month mark too.

I have PCOS. It's the worst. My husband and I want a baby so bad. We are hoping this weight loss helps. I hadn't had a period for over a year. The day after surgery, I got it. My hormones are changing. One minute I'm happy and the next cry at the drop of a hat. I guess when your body is out of whack it takes a lot to get it back to normal. Losing my hair and excess body hair is the worst thing about pcos thAt people notice anyway. Hoping this sleeve will alleviate some of the symptoms. I was sleeved4/16

I was sleeved 4/16 and as of last Monday lost 41 pounds. The thing I want more than anything is to be able to walk and not get short winded and stop taking frequent breaks because my legs, feet, etc hurt. Get pregnant (pcos) my husband and I have tried since we've been married. Almost 5 years. Get a tattoo of a violet on my foot in honor of my great grandma whose name is Violet. She's 86. Blessed to still have her in my life. She's my hero. Wear a bathing suit that doesn't have a skirt or big ugly flowers on it. Finish college and get a better than minimum wage job. Go to Hawaii. Buy a huge farm and foster/rescue animals til they can find their permanent loving homes.

Quest cinnamon roll and the brownie ones are good too

I crave pop. Only because I'm tired of drinking water, koolaid, and decaf tea. Pop is bad for you. Especially diet. If consumed continuously, it can eat your kidneys up. I've seen a nephrologist since I was 4. He declares pop as evil but says drink it in moderation, once twice a week. My surgeon said no carbonated beverages either. I have tried any yet. Hopefully I won't but I may have to try an ounce or two of cherry coke zero. I'm definitely not going to be drinking 3-4 bottles a day. Worse comes to worse, try it. It might make you sicker than a dog and you won't have to worry about drinking it anymore.

I'm not sure if Benadryl is a drug we can have. Anyone else know?

I think it's because of skin changes. I don't take any kinds of those meds mentioned above. It seems to happen more at night than any other time and my legs are the worst.

My weight my first consultation was 291. I'm 5'10". My surgery was 4/16/13. Weight day of surgery was 284 and day i was released i was at 280. I went for a follow up this past Monday and I weigh 239. My exercise is pretty minimal right now due to a gout flare up that doesn't want to leave me alone. So I lost 41 pounds, somehow, in less than 3 weeks. Haven't weighed myself since though.
