Anyone else catch Dr. Phil this afternoon? I never would have except I'm home recovering and it's all that's on. Ironically, he is talking with a young woman who's obsessed with getting pregnant but has PCOS and hasn't been able to. They gave a 30 second explanation of what PCOS is that didn't even explain anything. Sigh... It also didn't mention IR at all but said some people with PCOS may be type 2 diabetic. Really? Come on! Give some decent facts (IR and Diabetes are not the same thing - not that some people with PCOS aren't diabetic but it's IR that's really associated with it.)

One what is a TAH?

Do you take calcium or psyllium husks?

Add them into your diet or increase them and that will seriously help.

I take 8 calcium a day and 6 psyillium husks. You can take alot of psyillium up to 20 capsules a day. Just make sure the calcium is citrate NOT carbonate.

I think you need to relook at your surgery choice if you do have PCOS.

PCOS makes it hard to lose weeight. Your bady is VERY efficent at storing calories it adjusts quite easily to have less food to work with. The restriction only of the VSG probably won't be enough, you might look into a surgery with serious malaborption like the DS.

Just a thought,

 Hello,

I am pre-op and i was just wondering if we cycle like "normal" people do immediately after surgery? 

Hi Jules,

Thanks for answering my question. I know I have a while to go. I just wanted to see how long I need to wait. I wish you all the luck and hope your dreams come true!

Where can I find the Pregnancy after weight loss board? Is it here on OH. I looked but didn't see anything? Thanks again!
