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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
