Best decision of my life!



Recommended Posts

Hello my name is Kelly, I recently had the gastric sleeve done on January 13th. I was diagnosed with poly cystic ovary syndrome back in 2006 and that is when my weight became such a struggle for me. I have lost 45 pounds so far and feel fantastic!!! I would recommend this surgery to anyone who is considering it.

Glad to hear you are doing so well! I too am thrilled with my decision to have VSG. I am slowly approaching my goal weight and feel great (except for a head cold at the moment). I love being active again and feeling strong!

I have the same affliction and it has been a struggle for years. This is the best decision I ever made too. PCOS with insulin resistance has been an uphill battle but this surgery has helped me so very much and it has only been a month.

Good for you! I too was diagnosed with PCOS. I am 3 1/2 months post op and and down 64lbs. I just met with my OB for an annual. She was ecstatic with my weight loss. I also for the first time in YEARS had a positive ovulation test. My OB said that the PCOS had most likely taken care of itself with the weight loss. I am going on the pill until I'm one year post op to prevent pregnancy. I do not have any children yet. Talking to my OB about trying to conceive this time next year I became emotional. It's SOOO exciting. The possibilities are endless.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
