Hi! I am so glad I found this site. I have been struggling with weight gain for the past 10 years. I was diagnosed with PCOS and with the hair thinning, acne, hair in places it shouldn't be, I gained 60 +lbs in just over a year. I have been trying to eat right and exercise. (Spin class is my favorite). I just can't lose the weight. I am very interested in the sleeve surgery and am curious if any of you had prior abdominal surgeries before getting your sleeve surgery? I have a JPouch (due to Crohns/Ulcerative Colitis) and have a lot of scar tissue from the surgeries. I am seeing my GI soon and will ask her about having the sleeve surgery/risks/complications. I really hope there is a way to have the surgery, even with the scar tissue.
I am learning so much reading through the forums and am blown away out how successful they have been!
There is a lot of work involved prior to and after the surgery as I am seeing.
Thank you for any feedback.
