Hello Everyone,

I am new here! My name is Ashley and I am officially one week away from having VSG Surgery (It has been a looonnngg process). I was originally scheduled in March but the Coronavirus messed things up and it was cancelled. I wanted to have this surgery because I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) which is a hormonal imbalance disorder. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for quite some time now and after many different treatments with no success, and after doing research on VSG surgery, I knew that this was what I needed to do. I can not wait to see how this changes my life. :) Is there anyone else out there with PCOS? If so, did surgery help you in any way?

What's your date? I don't have PCOS...but I've heard many women have had success conceiving after WLS...I pray that it is the same for you![emoji3059]

It's MY time!

I'm scheduled for 05/12/2020, and I also have PCOS. Really hoping that we'll have an easier time after the sleeve!

I hope everything has gone/is going well! 💗My sleeve date is 6/22 and i have PCOS as well. Fertility is one of the reasons i decided to go through with this procedure (aside from wanting a generally longer/healthier life). I figured this would be more affordable than IVF and i will get the body I’ve always wanted in the process! 😂

      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!
