  16. A little worried I am only averaging two-three pounds a week of weight loss is this normal?
  17. I did not tell many people I worked with unless they directly asked me. As I work with many back stabbing judgmental people. I explained that I had PCOS that was causing infertility and needed to lose weight and with my pcos I had. Hard time Losing weight . And that is why my doctors and I decided it would be a good idea to have surgery. I am sure now that I have been out of work for 3 weeks people have gotten all the talking about me out of there system by he time I get back to work in three weeks. I do recommend telling people if they directly ask. I had a co worker that had the gastric sleeve done and told people she had a hernia repair. So when the truth comes out its not good . Best of luck and do what is best for you and your family
  18. Hello all I am just wondering if anyone else had gastric bypass due to pcos? Just want to know how much it helped with the many many symptoms that come along with the pcos? I have see a decrease in my cravings for the carbs and the sweets and I actually got my period for the first time in a long time I am sleeping better . So I am just wondering if other people have the same pcos struggles
