I am in my last month of insurance required diet. My final appointment is on July 28th, and it can't get here soon enough. This has been a long hard journey to get insurance approval (been denied twice). I've switched hospitals, and feel a lot more confident with my current surgery coordinator. I'm in Birmingham, AL. Dr. Stahl is my surgeon @ UAB. My surgery will most likely be in September. I have PCOS and insulin resistance resistance, and finally getting the weight off will hopefully increase my chances of conceiving. I would love to hear from other sleevers.

Congratulations on getting things moving.

I, too, had/have PCOS and all that it entails... Things are certainly changing now I've lost a few pounds!

Exciting times ahead!

It's really great that you are having the surgery BEFORE getting diabetes. The crossover from pre-diabetic to diabetic is the time when around 50% of the islet cells in the pancreas (that produce insulin) die off. You will be able to avoid diabetes totally. Fantastic!
