I'm still preop but yes - pcos for years and got pregnant without trying after a big weight loss - what Q's do you have?

My question was is it possible to get pregnant and get regular monthly periods ? Is it true that because of pcos and having gb you have high chances of multiples?

Having PCOS can increase your risk on having multiples, yes. You don't ovulate regularly and are more likely then someone without PCOS to release multiple eggs when you actually do ovulate....I've had multiple patients over the last 12 years who have lost 50+ pounds and suddenly become pregnant. Some thrilled because they wanted kids, some not so thrilled because they didn't....that said, I do know some people with PCOS that are not obese and are having fertility issues....I wish you the best!!!

I'm in a similar boat. Preop 367. Dos 10/15/12. I have pcos too but birth control regulated my period. Now, my Feb period is late. I'm not pregnant but am confused. Hopefully things get better for u!

The nurse at my surgeon's office got pregnant about 1 month post-op. she had previously been told she could never have children so she wasn't even thinking it was a possibility. She had a fairly rough pregnancy but the baby was very healthy and so is she. She ended up with a nutrition IV because she wasn't getting enough for the baby, but that was months 6-9. Anyway, the point of my post is that both you and baby should be fine. Just make sure that both your OBGYN and surgeon are aware of the situation and follow what they say.

Birth control never worked in the past even with a combination of hormone pills it would only come for a month then it would disappear so I hope this surgery will get rid of pcos , I have had spotting here and there for less then a day about 2 times after surgery 1-21-13 so I hope it works. Wish you the best

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
