Statistic of multiples post op?



Recommended Posts

Just to say upfront: We DO NOT have any intention on trying until I am at least 1 year post op...

I've read that the chances of multiples go up post op...how long is this the case, and how frequently? I've struggled with PCOS ever since I was 12, so I worry that I'll be the ONE woman who will still be infertile post op...

I'm just waiting for my doctor to release me to TTC--He said he will probably release me in January (right after hitting the 18 month mark).

I'm still curious about the statistics behind having multiples post-op...does anyone have any info for me? I don't really mind either way, I just need to know if I should mentally prepare my husband for the possibility, and I am wondering if the statistics are about the same for people without the surgery and ourselves, or do we have a higher chance of a multiples pregnancy.

I would suspect that it's just like in any other pregnancy - genetics or fertility treatments increase your odds of multiples. After that, it just a matter of fate! I told my husband when we do start trying, I hope it's twins, because at my age I feel like we have one shot. And his mom is a twin.

I had surgery in 2012

Single Birth (baby #5) 2013

Single Birth (baby #6) 2015

I am 37 (increased chance of multiples)

I have had multiple pregnancies (increased chance of multiples)

I do not think there is a correlation. I think it is more genetic and or drug induced.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
