PCOS-Band vs.Sleeve

Hello!

My name is Elky and I am hopefully having bariatric surgery in July!

I have "classic PCOS" with all the classic symptoms. It is very hard for me to lose weight. I only lose on a VERY strict no carb, no sugar diet, which is very very hard to keep without help.

I talked with my bariatric nutritonist about this and she thought that maybe i should consider the gastric sleeve instead. What do you all think about this? My insurance doesn't cover the sleeve with someone with my BMI, but my doctor says he can try to appeal to the insurance.

Anyone out there know anything about this?

TIA!:rolleyes:
