I am 25 years old and have been TTC for 2 years now. I was at my last straw before my OB suggested the sleeve as she had in April of 2014 and had already lost 60 pounds. I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance.

I made my first appt with True Results September 23, 2014 and am path for surgery October 30, 2014. I am excited to start this journey of it. While witht he DR for my PreOp I asked him how long I should wait until I start TTC again and he said that 4-6 months and I should be ready to go. He said that many OB's want you to wait more than a year but thats for their own good and not for us.

He also said that the babies will get their nutrients first before we do and not to worry so much about that. I am ready to get on this roller coaster of a ride and am happy to wait for God's timing. But I am a firm believer that this is my time and God is landing me in this path.

Good luck to all of my fellow sleevers!

I am 28, been ttc since my husband and I married 2.5 years ago. We had one miscarried and that's it. I don't have any diagnosed fertility issues. I am hoping that this weight loss will be the ticket to conceiving. We are planning to start trying again in January, I will be 6mos post-op. So fast I'm down from 259 to 202. Hoping to get down to at least 175 by January!

I am 25, and was recently diagnosed with PCOS. In 2012, I had a miscarriage which at the time I was not TTC at all. After this I was kind of heartbroken and me and my boyfriend (at the time) now husband decided to really try. We tried for two years to no avail that's when I was diagnosed with PCOS. Now looking back I really shouldn't have even tried do to me being so big and all the complications that could have come along with it. I would definitely have been a high risk pregnancy I was nearly 400lbs. I got sleeved September 11th, 2014 SW 395 CW 349 so I've lost 46 lbs. so far. I do plan to TTC within the next year provided I am close to where I want to be goal wise which is 190lbs. I decided I would start trying around 230lbs.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
