I am a 31 year old married mother to two miracle boys. I have PCOS and have struggled with infertility and my weight my whole life and finally decided a few months ago that if I kept things up I was never going to enjoy my kids, see them grow, and I was setting a horrible example for them. This decision brought me to the VSG. Surgery date was 2/24. Already down 30lbs including pre op diet. Would love to hear others' stories!

So when I started my journey towards WLS, the actual procedure seemed so far away... Now as I pack my hospital bag for my surgery tomorrow, I find myself getting very nervous. I am excited, yes, but very nervous about the actual surgery. I know this is the right tool to finally get my crazy body under control and I welcome the changes with open arms. I am just so nervous about the surgery, I hope all goes well! "/

You both look awesome!! Congrats on all your success!!!

Oh my goodness!! You are all doing so well!!! I am still pre-op scheduled for 2/24. I have ALWAYS worn a size with an "X" on it, and as the years have gone by and after having kids, I have added a couple more "X"'s. It's very depressing. I cannot even imagine wearing just a large, let alone a medium or small. I can't wait to be on the losers bench and hopefully drop these "X"'s!!!

You all look amazing!! I am getting sleeved in about 3 1/2 weeks and I hope to someday look even 1/2 as amazing as you all do!! Congrats on all your success!!

You look awesome!! May I ask if you had any issues with loose skin? If not, any tips to prevent it?? Thanks

Just got the call today that I was approved!!! So excited!! I meet with the surgeon Thursday for consult and to pick a date!!! Have you heard anything yet?

I just got a call Tuesday saying I was approved and it was 2 weeks to the day that I had finished my preliminary stuff. Now I am meeting the surgeon today for consult and to schedule a date. Excited but nervous! The wait seems to go so slow when your in it! Lol, good luck!

I am scheduled to be sleeved 2/24, and I want to ask my doctor if I can see the part he removes! Lol! That's the nurse in me. Anyone else have this desire? Did anyone get to see theirs?

I saw my surgeon, Dr Schneider, in Boston, MA yesterday and was cleared for surgery. Surgery date is 2/24. I need to lose 10 lbs before then, and pre op diet starts two weeks prior. I am excited and nervous! 2 months and counting! So I guess I am a February sleever now!

I also have PCOS and I am hoping to get sleeved in January. I have period issues and fertility issues. I have heard of PCOS patients doing better with the RNY and I have heard of them doing just as well with the sleeve. I decided on the sleeve because the malabsorption issues of the RNY scared me. I look at it as this -I will lose weight with the sleeve, and any weight loss will help my PCOS. I may not lose quite as much or quite as fast but as long as I am healthier! Good luck on your journey whatever you choose!
