Me! But I had it before I was super fat. I was still able to get pregnant eventually. Eat a Paleo diet starting now and get used to eating Protein and low carb. That will make the surgery process easier.

I just had my surgery in Dec., but my kids are grown (21 and 17). I struggled with PCOS starting in my teens and up until I had NovaSure when I was 38. It doesn't always affect pregnancy. In my case I don't think it did, but I was much healthier when I got pregnant.

I had PCOS--I am no longer symptomatic and have a regular monthly. I had 3 pregnancies and 2 children after I was diagnosed. I have both read and heard that with the surgery it is much easier to conceive but I got pregnant before surgery...good luck to you!!

I have PCOS and have had to use fertility drugs for my first two children. I got my surgery march 2012, got pregnant May 31st 2012. Be careful not to get pregnant within the 1st year. I never in a millions years would have thought I could get pregnant without fertility drugs. I didn't find out I was pregnant until mid July. I Had a healthy happy baby. Only gained 11# and she was 8.8#s. However I did have a complication with my surgery and had to have a reversal and gained everything back. Just had it done again and Now I'm post op day 4.

First time around I lost 56# before I got pregnant.

      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?
