Pregnant- sleeve or bypass

[thisisme 0]

I am wondering for those who needed surgery to try to combat PCOS or just trying to get pregnant, which surgery did you decide and why? Are you pregnant? Have you had weight gain that you can't loose after pregnancy? Any struggles?

Everything you're asking is really a personal decision. There's no right surgery for if you plan to have a baby post op. You need to weigh the pros and cons of each surgery and make the decision based off your feelings. Losing weight after pregnancy is another thing that depends on the person, and doesn't have anything to do with the surgery you get. If you are lazy about things after baby then there's a chance you won't lose the weight.

Getting personal accounts can help you see how others went through the process, but ultimately it's what will work best for you.

I have the sleeve. I chose the sleeve because I didn't want mal-absorption and I didn't want my insides being rerouted by RNY. I didn't want lapband because I didn't want a foreign object inside of me, and didn't want to deal with getting fills post op. I plan to get pregnant in a year, but pregnancy was not part of my decision on which surgery to get because all 3 surgeries have had successful pregnancies after surgery.
