Tell them it's been over a year... technically it has. Option 2, talk to your surgeon and see if he/she can call over and talk to the endo about accepting you as a patient considering you need to be closely monitored. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If you have PCOS (you tried for 4 years prior), so make your way to a reproductive endocrinologist just for testing for now. They look at the tests differently than your ob-gyn. Make sure you don't take ANY medication without proper bloodwork and ultrasound monitoring. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just tried GNC lean 25 vanilla shake (mixed with lactaid/water)...and previously tried the chocolate they were awful Going to pick up some premier Protein ready to drink at costco. What else can I try that doesn't taste nasty? I'm pretty sensitive to tastes apparently because others have said they love them. I chugged it-- there is no way I can do slow sips!
