Hello, I'm Kailie.. I'm 25 I live in Michigan and I've been heavy my entire life! Have 2 children a girl 6yrs and a boy 1yr. I am 5'8" and currently 345lbs. I also battle PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) I attended my first seminar last night where the surgeon who gave the presentation only made me want the sleeve even more! He said more and more insurance companies are approving the sleeve!! Lord help me, I hope mine will!!!

I also have pcos was diagnosed at age 24 and now at 29 my weight has gone crazy so I'm so ready for this I know the feeling!

I am 35 and have pcos as well. Tried metformin an barfed for 7 months. Now getting sleeves July 1! They said it would "cure" me. We shall see - if I ever want to have a kid this thing needs to go away now!

Why!? Have your endocrinologist help out. I'm so sorry that must be so frustrating!

Hi, I was denied on Monday, filed my appeal yesterday and got approved today!!! I submitted a letter and a picture of me explaining why I want and need this surgery, some info about me, stressing my determination to do this and NOT fail. I also attached all of the medical records from the last six months....and it worked!! Hang in there, don't delay unless you have to for some reason...

I also have pcos was diagnosed at age 24 and now at 29 my weight has gone crazy so I'm so ready for this I know the feeling!
