Need some advice about pregnancy.



Recommended Posts

Hubby and I want to start having children. We have been married just two years and together three. I am 34 and he is 37, so my biological clock is ticking BIG time. We have spoke to a fertility specialist and he confirmed I have PCOS, but felt confident I could get pregnant with the help of fertility drugs. Problem is I am no where near my goal weight. I just celebrated my 1 year bandiversary 7/29. Give me some input. We both have been wanting children for years! Should we start fertility drugs or wait longer?

I would start trying to conceive. You have a lifetime to lose weight. You are banded and it will always be there. While you try to conceive you can continue to lose weight then when you conceived (hopefully not more then 2) just try to stay at the 25 - 30 lb weight gain. It will be easiler to lose after giving birth.

You have done good for 1 year and I know you will continue to do well pregnancy or not

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
