Pregnancy after Gastic Sleeve, PCOS and questions in general

[SleevesUp 4]

Hello everyone

I am so excited, because my mom is willing to lend me the Money to get VSG. I am meeting tomorrow with the consultant nurse to hear about the surgery, which I will have done in Sweden (Live in Denmark, Scandinavia).

However, as everyone who has not already gone through it, I am nervous and have a ton of questions. Hope you experienced "Sleevers" can give me some aswers and oppinions.

One of the reasons I am getting the surgery, is because I have PCOS and have difficulty losing the weight and keeping it off. I know they advice you not to get pregnant within a year post op. How is pregnancy after the surgery? What should you have in mind when it comes to Nutrition? Will the small pouch be able to hold food when the baby takes up room? Have any of you been pregnant post op, and how was it?

Has anyone had positive effects on their PCOS after surgery?

Thanks :-)

While I can't answer your question, I would like to let you know my 18 year old daughter has just recently been diagnosed with PCOS. Please let me know how the sleeve works for you. We are thinking that if the metformin, with diet and exercise, does not work that the sleeve will be and option for her. I wish you good luck, and I have read many women with PCOS have surgery, get pregnant, and do just fine.
