The first thing I said to my mom when I came out from under anesthesia was "why the hell did you let me do this, I feel like I'm dying", 7 months later I would do it every day if I had to. Don't regret it at all. It gets better, and you'll feel better.

Lol you sound just like me when I woke up I just start crying. But reality was it was already done n I had no other choice but deal with almost like having a baby no turning back..

Glad to know I wasn't the only one my surgery was around noon and that whole night I cried and asked my husband what the heck I did and why. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. They couldn't get my pain and nausea under control at all so I was miserable. 1 weeks out I had really bad dehydration thanks to a Protein drink that cleared me out, but 2 weeks out now and I still have moments of regret, but reading these forums and watching the videos on YouTube gives me hope . I mean 20 lbs in 2 weeks is also giving me a nice push

Hi to all!

I am planning to have my sleeve at the end of April! I am 5'3 192 lbs and have sever PCOS. I was curious to all the twenty somethings to know if you told your friends and if so how did you go about telling them. Also how did you handle going to bars and when they wanted to grab pizza or fro yo you know all the typical stuff us twenty year olds have to deal with. Also to all the girls with PCOS how fast did the weight come off I know it depends on the person, but I am just curious! at end I would like to get down to 120.

Thanks!

Hello! I have bad PCOS as well, went thru 3 years and 2 IUIs to have my oldest kiddo a few years ago because of it. I would go an entire year pretty much without a period. I was told I couldn't get pregnant because I was too fat -by a doctor- when I was first trying to get pregnant and couldn't figure out what was going on. I gained about 50-60lbs in just 4-5 months! I was 220lbs at that time. After having my 2 girls, who are 13 months apart, I had issues with stress and not having time and needed up gaining more. I had my sleeve done 2 weeks ago today, an although I'm dealing with major head hunger issues I'm still excited about what's to come. Day before surgery I weighed 264 and today I weigh 245. My highest weight was 270 and that was in January of this year, I went on a major diet and exercised as much I could with 2 toddlers and severe asthma and knee pain. Now I can't wait to get out and run . I am just now moving to the next stage for food, which for my doctor is purées but that includes so much more than you imagine it does at first. Oh btw I'm 25 . I never went out much, but I was a heavy drinker when I would go so I plan to avoid the situation as best I can. My biggest issue is the no more Motrin. Motrin was my best friend for my aches and pains and not being able to take any NSAIDs kinda sucks. But hey, you get to be so much healthier .

How did your surgery go? And how are you doing now?
