DaniVSG got a reaction from Jazzzyjay in Curious question about incisions
Usually it's used for a retractor to hold your liver up and out of the way so the surgeon can see and have better access to your stomach cavity. They typically use the incision nearest to your belly button for CO2 insufflation.

I'm sure that although the insurance companies differ, my office told me that my approval was good for a year.

DaniVSG reacted to hmm33502 in PCOS success stories?
PCOS here! I had lap-band in 2010 and have lost 85 lbs, but with lots of ups and downs. I am getting the band removed and getting sleeved on Thursday because of complications with the band. I still have about 95 lbs to go. I'm on the max dose of spironolatone, but since losing 85 lbs, it is actually improving symptoms. I was on 2000 mg of metformin for a while, but eventually got off of that. Dr says that he has seen people off of PCOS meds completely after losing to a healthy weight. Here's to hoping!!

DaniVSG got a reaction from Kee in PCOS success stories?
I've been so worried about the correction of androgens in my system post op. My VSG is scheduled for February. PCOS is one of my biggest motivations for having the surgery.

DaniVSG reacted to KWeilbrenner09 in PCOS success stories?
I've got PCOS too and am scheduled for Monday 12/26 for a VSG with duodenal switch!
I was told the DS would be better for me because of how the PCOS affects my metabolism.
I'll keep y'all updated!
