This is a great article on how low Vitamin D could be linked to PCOS. Just thought I'd share.

Let me begin with I'm 23 years old & have struggled with weight my entire life. Many times I have lost significants amounts of weight to only gain it back (& more) . This weight fluctuation was constant from age 12-23. In 2011 I weighed 180lbs. In August 2013 I weighed my highest as 318lbs. I new my last result had to be surgery. I went for the vertical sleeve on October 21 2013 . And let me tell you, BEST decision I have ever made. Today , 4/14/2014 (less then SIX months post op!) I have shed -101lbs. Day of surgery I weighed in at 304lbs Today I weigh in at 203lbs Here are some pics. Hope to inspire & give hope to anyone considering VSG! Before (week before surg) & After (april 2014)

Anyone interested in starting a group in Central Phoenix. Would love to connect and willing to host/coordinate meetings.
Let me know!

I don't LOVE the repetitive questions... But we were all there once.
Ok, make us a topic list. lol
Honestly, all my posts are about me because, well, I am my favorite subject.

I'm scheduled for the 28th. I stared my pre op diet on Saturday and I'm really hungry but I know this is going to be worth it. I'm having surgery at St. Luke's in Phoenix.

I was sleeved on 2/27/14 and I had an open procedure. My Dr said it was his first and he has been doing these types of surgeries for 20 years. My cut goes from the middle of my breast bone to the top of my belly button. He just went over a previous scar that was there. He said he had to do the open cut because of scar tissue from the previous surgery. I am still very sore but I am down a total of 23 lbs and 14 since day of surgery. I still have no appetite at all so everything that I eat I have to force and my liquid intake needs to increase but I'm finally in the last couple of days able to go for a walk. Hopefully the start of week 3 will be much easier.

So I got on the scale yesterday for my official three weeks post op and it hasn't moved at all! Starting to wonder if my scale isn't accurate or what! Started back to work yesterday which has been great but I get tired so easily!! Got home yesterday and was exhausted!! I hope everyone is doing well! Have an appointment with surgeon on Thursday hopefully the scale moves by then!! I have noticed clothes getting bigger so that's a good sign! I am at 30 pounds since 2 week diet and 16 since surgery

I only keep track on myfitnesspal, and only weigh myself every few days. But I've lost 20 lbs in 2.5 weeks.

Surgery today at 2:30! Wish me luck..... I'm so nervous!

iPhone auto correct botched my reply!!!! I'm most concerned about complications!!! Not comic atoms!!!!

Ok! First morning post-op! I feel great! No gas pain, gas in bowels or gas from surgery! I have tolerable pain in my abdomen with 5 lap sites. I've had no nausea, but I have Zofran ordered routinely so that has helped. I have walked the halls at least every 4 hours with no trouble. I hear that the pain is worse on days 2,3, & 4 post-op, but I am very optimistic! I wish everyone's recovery could go this well! I haven't passed gas yet, but I don't feel pressure or the need. I have a barium swallow scheduled with the surgeon this morning. Then I'll be allowed more Clear Liquids (not just ice). If I tolerate the liquids well, I'll be discharged this afternoon! No regrets here! Wishing luck to those going to surgery today!

I am out of surgery and finally awake enough (kinda) to post an update! Surgery took a couple hours. My surgeon said that my liver shrank very well and that surgery went great! And no hiatal hernia!!! I have 5 lap sites. I have some aching pain in my belly, but the IV pain meds are working pretty well. The worst part is my mouth and throat are EXTREMELY dry and a little sore. I am allowed ice chips, but I have found that I can get too much for my tummy to take! I'm nodding in and out from exhaustion. I didn't sleep well the past 2 nights. Thank all of you that sent prayers and good vibes!

I definitely had that thought. I was worried about leaving my daughter motherless at age 5. But I'm 8 days out and doing great! It's a normal thought. Don't worry, you'll be great!

I'm 5'2 and 223 lbs. I am being sleeved on 2/28/14. My long term goal is 130.

sooooooo slightly bragging post went to the docs to day got weighed guess whos lost 11lbs since jan and for the first tiem since i was 10 years old is under 200lbs!
:D

The 26th. So we are close.

I'm alive! Been in my room since about 1. I'm just now starting to feel alive again. I had some gas pain but it got better after a walk and a pee. Haha. I'll probably get up and walk in a bit. I need some pain stuff. I'm starting to feel feel a little pain now.
I hate my roommate. Her people won't shut the fu <k up. I just wanna sleep thanks. And so does she she can barely talk. Haha.

It makes you put in the email. Mine is april.gilley19@yahoo.com

Just finished all of my pre op tests. OMG the barium stuff is horrid and the test where they have to test your oxygen in your blood..... I felt it in my nostrils. It was awful. But it's done and now is my surgery. I'm ready for the 28th!!!

I think I'm the last one this month to get sleeved. Anyone else getting sleeved on the 28th?

How are you doing SuperFab?

Better little by little. I feel like I've been his by a truck. Lol
