I heard it'll be a lot easier to get pregnant after the surgery.

It is a lot easier, but with your weight change, possible hormone changes it could mess with it too, My surgeon actually had me sign a contract stating a would not get pregnant for 12 months after surgery.

My dr office said to wait at least 1 year before getting pregnant also.

We're waiting, but I wanted to see if anyone else was in this situation.

I have PCOS and had my VSG Sept. 2015, we were blessed to get pregnant in April 2016. Not a full year out but I had lost over 100 lbs and both baby and I are healthy. He is set to arrive Jan 18. Very soon. The only obstacle that I've had is trying to eat enough. I only gained 24 lbs and am being monitored with labs and all that jazz.

So it's very possible and you now have the best chance.

Good luck!!

I have PCOS as well and I know the pain, I'm having my pm put me on a high progesterone birth control for a few months just to even me out..

I had pcos and doctors had been telling me since I was 16 that I wouldn't be able to ave children.

A year after surgery, and at 21, I got pregnant! lol I'm currently on my 7 month. My surgeon said we become very fertile after this surgrey and it's true lol

I was sleeved in Dec 2016 and am almost 3 months post op. Im 31 and was diagnosed with PCOS at 15. Before surgery I only got my period with birth control. My husband and I want a baby soon. Worried because I have lost 70 pounds but my period hasn't started. I need to get back into OB. Play to go next month. Wondering when and if my periods will start on their own. Sounds like she share same concerns

I have bad PCOS but had kids before getting my sleeve. However, I was thinner back then but didn't ovulate or have a cycle. I was able to have children by taking fertility drugs and using a HCG trigger shot. It took 2 weeks of treatments before becoming pregnant and we got pregnant the old fashioned way, no IVF or IUI. So even if your ovulation still continues to be an issue when you are thin, don't lose hope! Go to an experienced reproductive endocrinologist and you should be just fine.

We have practically the same story. Would you mind to PM me? Maybe we could be buddies?

When I gained a ton of weight I was convinced I had pcos but nope, the weight gain made my cycles irregular & I was having hard time to conceive. I was warned that I needed to be on bc for 12 months after vsg so I am excited to start trying after my one year post op I'm 25 yo also.
