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.

no preggo here LOL

1 daughter and 3 grand-kids

i'm 61!!!

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!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
