Well I am excited and hoping this is a new beginning for me. This is the reason I got banded in the first place to have a period and get pg on my own. I was just banded on 1/29 and have lost 18lbs. For the first time in over 2.5 years, I got a period on my own. A nice healthy heavy period. I just had a baby last May but had to do IVF to conceive him. I did lose a lot of weight with him and right after and got pg again 7 weeks later and lost to miscarriage. Well I gained a bunch of weight again (30lbs). Now I am so happy to see my period and hoping that it will contine month after month with me ovulating.

has this happened to anyone else? I want to get pregnant in August.

Thanks

Katie

Exercise exercise and exercise and eat low carb with the PCOS. I am sure you already know that . I hadnt had a period on my own in 17 years!!!!!!!!! and I lost 60 lbs started having them and 2 months later pg. I did fertility meds for my first 2 so this one is a surprise. My pcos symptoms are so much better!

I have pcos and learned I was infertile eight years ago when I got married. We did several rounds of failed infertility treatments those first few years. I am now the proud mother of three children via adoption and have still not had more than a couple of normal cycles since surgery. HOWEVER, this most recent cycle I can't even remember when I had my period except that it was light and seemed insignificant, but I found out just a few days ago that I am DEFINITELY pregnant. Still wrapping my mind around it all. I wasn't trying, but then again we have NEVER really used birth control and have not for eight years! This is a HUGE shock! I know it was the weight loss, but suspect it had more to do with the stabilization of the weight loss in the past several months....oh and I randomly started taking metformin again last month because I was hoping that would curb my carb cravings.... I hadn't taken it since I noticed my blood sugar levels had stabalized for awhle. So could have been the metformin too. Just hoping it all works out okay!

Good luck to you!!

      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.
