Hey -fellow Okie, I know of 2 people with PCOS that got pregnant after having the sleeve. The bypass would be a great tool to restore your hormones to balance. They were told to wait at least 1 year before trying. I have PCOS, and my first child came naturally, but due to secondary infertility (yeah PCOS sucks) I did IVF to conceive my second and then had a hysterectomy. I am anxious to see if it helps other symptoms of PCOS besides fertility in my case. Good luck!!!

Tulsa area and used Bailey in Owasso. I'm one week out today and have had a few rough days, but overall minor compared to having a major surgery. What made you decide on the bypass vs sleeve.

Are you using Dr. Katsis??? He is mine and I love him. Can't say enough great things about him. He is at surgical associates and went to ORU.

You are in good hands!!! He is a trained trauma surgeon with a really good reputation. He really is very good at what he does. I had started to doubt myself, because I couldn't find anyone who used him at Bailey and then I went to a support group in April and everyone had used him including the director of the program for both himself and his wife. No one had anything but praise for him. I liked Bailey and it had to be done at their facility for my insurance or I probably would have looked at a more streamlined program. Bailey hospital is a hidden gem. I have told my husband if I have any other scheduled procedures, I would choose them hands down. In an emergency situation, I would still go to St. Francis.

I am doing okay at 1 week post op. I can say that the gas pain/pressure is no joke! I woke up in recovery in pain. He does allow the use of good drugs while you are in the hospital to control it. Toradol worked better than oxycotin and hydrocodone in my case. I was walking and using the restroom within 10min of being wheeled into my room. I have had a few rough days, but overall feel better each day. I'm just gassy and bloated still. I think it takes a while for it to subside. I feel like I have 50% of my energy. I am working every day to get my Protein in and my hydration levels up. That is the number one cause for readmittance. I took 2 weeks off and I think I will be ready to go back to work when the time comes.

      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!!
