TTC after VSG...any issues?



Recommended Posts

Short story is that 2 years ago, we TTC for over a year. I had PCOS but WAS ovulating on my own. Hubby's stuff is perfect. We did several months of clomid, trigger shots, follistim, IUI, etc. I always ovulated perfectly and always BFN.

Fast forward to now...I'm 10 months post op and dr gave us the go ahead to TTC again. He assured me the 120# I've lost has cured my PCOS and we shouldn't have problems.

I know weight loss helps non-ovulatory PCOS become ovulatory, but has anybody still needed assistance getting pregnant post-op? Or how long did it take you to conceive once you were *trying*?

Hello, I didn't have PCOS but I was never able to fall pregnant and I really feel that the sleeve helped! Within 3 months of trying we fell pregnant.. I also used lube called "PreSeed" ( I do not need lube but seen it helped others ttc) the last 2 months of trying and I am not sure if that is what helped along with ovulation tests but I am sure it didn't hurt.

Good luck to you and lots of baby dust your way!!

I am 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant now and I was about 1 yr 7 months out from the Sleeve when we got pregnant.

      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.
