PCOSSUCKS

Right?! Lol

Do you know the other meaning of PCOS? Pretty Crappy Outlook Sweetheart[emoji174]

I’m technically “may” but the 31st. All of this is so exciting! I start liquid diet Friday so my friends are making sure I am treated to all kinds of yummy food the last few weeks [emoji23][emoji23] I’m honestly almost tired of eating [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
🥂 to all of us!

No idea how some woman say they had sex so fast after surgery. I had bypass and no sex for at least 2 months . Everything hurt too much!

I had Barrett’s esophagus disease well early stages and with my sleeve it resolved itself

I think she meant it as a compliment. The first pulmonary dr I saw actually leaned over to view my body and said “really?” In a smirky way...that was uncalled for...the second pulmonary dr, the nurse said “I You don’t look like you need it” and it was different than the other dr’s smirky comment...not offensive at all....you can’t hold it against people who are genuinely thinking you don’t look heavy enough. They don’t understand the different reasons if they aren’t in the middle of it. I say let it roll off.

May 31st! Start my liquid diet on Thursday [emoji15] my first appointment was in February and my surgeon required several prerequisite appointments with various dr’s, my insurance did not. So now it’s just down to having the surgery....seems like a dream to me...I have PCOS (as per the name [emoji38]) and have suffered with several things over the last 10 years...I am ECSTATIC to be back to normal!!! [emoji1373][emoji1373][emoji1373]

I just read this entire thread...wow what a roller coaster! Not in a bad way but just a lot of ups and downs. I start my liquid diet on the 17th...this whole process has fell into place for me (almost waiting for the other shoe to drop) but really resting in the peace I have about this journey. I can’t wait to hear how it goes for you Little Green!

May 31! From Oklahoma! Booooomer!

May 31!!!!!

That is good news! I was really nervous about losing too quickly. Very encouraging!

the GERD was why it was recommended I go with the bypass. I am ready. they changed the date from the 25th to the 31st....

why the revision if you don't mind me asking?

I really haven't had a lot of good experiences at Bailey...but I am glad you are!!! the other dr's I have told he is the one doing my surgery they have nothing but good things to say as well about katsis. we ALWAYS go to st Francis....I was there today lol one of my kids has asthma and having issues.

how is it all going for you?

yep! small world! im just not going the Baily route. my insurance approved with no prerequisite dr appointments required by katsis. but its all done and im super ready!

I live in owasso lol using a dr by ORU..surgical associates ....the surgeon recommended it bc I have acid reflux

thanks! hope all goes well for you all too! we are done having kids tho where In ok are you ?

may 25th!!!! I cannot wait! anyone else having or have had for pcos?

question friends....after your last pre op appointment (clearances), how long before you were able to schedule your surgery? I have my last one on Tuesday and very anxious to get it on the books...im even ready to start pre op diet lol

Hi there PCOSSUCKS. I had my procedure on February 6 after months and months of looking for information about ESG. You are definitely right that this forum can provide so much information and support for all of those in the pre and postop stage. I’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I remember being exactly where you are right now, looking for advice and guidance.
The procedure itself, at least for me, was not very painful at all. The recovery was quick and I would say I was “back to normal” by the evening or afternoon of the day after the procedure which I found pretty amazing. ESG does help curb your appetite tremendously but you do have to do your part as with any WLS. The further out you are the more work you have to put in but as of now, I am like 3-4 weeks out, it is doing the job. I can feel the restriction and feel full with a much smaller amount than before the ESG.
We’re here for guidance, support, or advice whenever you need it. Welcome to the group!!

I thought the sleeve was going to be what I was going to have done per my referring dr but the surgeon said he thinks bypass is the best option for me due to reflux...anyone else’s dr say anything like that?

Ha, probably should have thrown in something relevant to the earlier thread.
I also have PCOS and understand how hard it is to lose weight. While getting my discharge instructions, my Dr said no more Metformin. She may have meant for the short term, but I really hope its for the long term. I won't miss that!
I'm 22 lbs down today - including the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Good luck!

Thankfully my dad is supportive just not happy...? He is not one to turn to drs for much

My dad doesn’t understand either. He isn’t as hateful as your sister in law sounds about it but he is not happy about it AND IM 40! Lol
