Getting sleeved in hopes of getting pregnant with PCOS or success stories?



Recommended Posts

Anyone else having the surgery with high hopes that it will help you get pregnant or have success getting pregnant after the sleeve with PCOS?

I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 21 and have dealt with obesity and trouble losing weight my whole life! Over the past 4 years I have had 2 miscarriages! I turned 30 this year and feel this is my only hopes to have a baby of my own.

there is a special pregnancy board that can help you with many questions

http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/427-pregnancy-with-gastric-sleeve-surgery/

from what i have heard

you are not supposed to have a baby for 2 years after surgery

that doesn't count adoption:lol:

sorry for your miscarriages

since you've lost so much weight

i "think" don't know for sure

but i think other people have said it's easier to get pregnant since they have lost so much weight

i think, i think - not medical person here

you could ask your doc

definitely check out the pregnancy board

good luck

Hey there, I got sleeved for the same reason. My surgery was just Monday but my surgeon agreed WLS was the best option to cure my insulin resistance that came with my PCOS. My surgeon did recommend waiting 2 years to start trying however I changed to a GYNO that is on the bariatric board and she is very familiar with what I'm going through. She told me a year and I will have definitely be able to have a healthy normal pregnancy. The biggest reason to wait has to do with the shock your body goes through after the major weight loss. I recommend finding a GYNO that has had other patients with PCOS that have had WLS. It helped me drastically! Good luck to you!!

      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.
