Hello,
I am new to the site and hoping to gain some more information the gastric sleeve. Last year I was diagnosed with PCOS, with all the regular symptoms. I take metformin and birth control to regulate my hormones. I've never had a period, and when I did, it was once every 5-8 months in my teens. I've always been an athlete and kept on myself about my diet since I was a kid. I've always, just like any woman with PCOS, had such a hard time to lose weight. I work out, hike, bike to work, and still it's an uphill battle. The insecurities are constant and the weight gain keeps increasing throughout the years. I gain mainly in my stomach, arms, and chest. I've done some research and the gastric sleeve seems to be my last resort. I have pre-diabetes and I don't know where to turn. Can anyone give me more information from personal experience? There seems to be many success stories, but I'm also very nervous for all the obvious reasons. I've done a seminar and sending in my new patient packet... hopefully I can be admitted.
Thank you!
