As everyone said above the cyst are just one factor for pcos. I have had it basically forever wasnt dx until I got married and ttc. I had many years of fertility treatments and many unsuccessful cycles. I finally did the surgery after 7 years of tx and nothing working and the dr told me that I was tooo overweight to get pg it would be dangerous. I am thank g-d pg now still early but I am thrilled. btwn loosing weight and going to the chiroprachter I got pg naturally.

I am also due in Feb and I havent told a soul but of course my dh. I am so nervous bc I had a miscarriage already once and eventhough when I went to the dr he said everything was great adn that the fetal heartbeat was strong im terrified of not making until the 2nd trimester. I am so happy I have others to talk to who understand my concerns. What did everyone do about prenatal vitamins? I found small ones but they made me sooo nausous and I even threw them up? I think I am going to ask my dr what to do when I go back next week.

they wont do it for about 2 years after u have a baby. At least that was what a was told. good luck with ur pg,

well I am sorry to say that I unfortunatly loss my baby a few weeks ago. I am hoping that g-d willing I will be get pg again soon. thanks

I am only about 5 1/2 weeks and I got an unfill today of 1.8cc. I was sooo tight that yes fluid was going down but sooo slowly. I am soo nervous about this pg its my first and I have been ttc for 8.5 years. I did the surgery to help me loose enough weight so that I could get pg without treatments and guess what it happened. I am so happy I have everyone here to help me with my questions.

I just found out that I have arthritis in my lower back and I think it has gotten worse since I have lost weight. I assume that I had it before though eventhough I never knew about it.

I can't believe that we are almost up to a year since we had the surgery. Is anyone planning to do anything for this special occasion? How much has everyone lost? How was everyone doing? Let me start I did the surgery Oct 6 08 and have lost 120lbs. I have no special plans as of now for that day but maybe dh and I will try to go out to eat. I have such a hard time eating so well maybe I just will make something special for supper that night. I am feeling like a totally different person I can't believe that I could feel this good. I have had some rough patches but I can't complain when I have really lost this much weight. I hope to hear from everyone else. :sad:

well I havent weighed in a long time and I know its not friday but thank g-d I am down 105lbs since the surgery. I feel great!! The past week or so I don;t think I really lost anything so next week when I go for my next fill I am going to ask them to add some eventhough I do throw up but that is usally bc I am eating tooo fast or because I didn't chew well enough. Like right now I ahve a peice of peach stuck I feel in my throat and I feel soo uchhy!!! well try to keep u more updated.

I just saw this post and love the idea. I wanted to post eventhough its not friday since Fridays I am not anywhere near a computer. I am down 65lb since my liquid diet. I am seeing people that I haven't seen in a while and some people don;'t even reconize me. I feel great!!! I was tighten recently and since then have been loosing a ton of weight. I can't eat much but at least I know I can drink. I also have been having a hard time with protein maybe its time to go back to the shakes. I guess I will see. take care and thanks for the encoragment.

I had one fill already and am having my next in about 1.5 weeks and I really feel I could use it sooner but they told me that I have to wait. I was soo not restricted before my first fill I was able to eat everything and was always hungry. I am now not always hungry but I feel that I can still eat too much. I want to tell them to add 4cc this time. I had two cc from before surgery and then I had two cc added in my first fill. I was told not to leave until I can make sure I can swallow so that I wouldn't have to come back if I couldn;t keep up at least water down. well I hope that they fill me up. I have 30lb in 7 weeks which I know is good but I wanted to loose more.

I was only banded a few days after you and I also lost 25lb. but I am happy with what I have lost since that means that the band is working and that I am on the right track.

I am going for my first fill today and this 5 weeks and 2 days after surgery. I can't wait. I want to fill resticted as I have only lost 25lb. since surgery and I really was hoping I would have lost more. But I know it is going to be slow so I am taking it as it is. I hope that I will loose some more weight now before I have a family occasion in two weeks and I want to fit into something really nice.

renee Good luck. I live in NYC and had the band on 10-6-08 I wouldn't mind being your friend. agatka who did u use? I used Dr. Fielding. I really am doing well thank g-d. Kathy give it time it does get better trust me I know I finaaly am starting to get back to myself after the surgery which was the begining of the mounth. remeber to follow what the dr says.

I have a great dr that recommends the surgery highly. He is great and really nice. His staff is a bit nasty but its worth it b/c he is sooo nice. e-mail me and I can give you name and phone number.

I am a little bit embarrassed to write about this but I am two weeks post op and I tried having sex with my dh and I was in so much pain in my stomache in the area that the insecions are. I am not sure its b/c we tried too early or if its b/c I am just too sore or what..... HELP!!!!!!!! Thanks

I was only three days post op and I fasted it was the easiest fast I have ever had. And for those who are extremly religous its not really an option not to fast.

I had the surgery yesterday and I started with a broth this morning in the hospital and all eve I have been drinking a shake. I put in some fruit to give me a few more calories. I also have been drinking water I don't have too much of an appetite for anything else and I can't even seem to finish the shake I made. I think I am going to save the rest for tomm. How did anyone else handle it right after surgery??

I was banded on mon and boy do I feel pretty good. I am having some pain which I am taking some pain killers for. I am still pretty sleepy so I keep on dozing off and on today. I was most comfortable sleeping on my couch since I was able to sleep semi sitting up so it wasn't soo hard to get up. My bed is really hard to get up from. I hope tomm I will not have as much pain. I keep on walking and that feels great. I am so happy that I made this choice to do the surgery. anyways just a little update. I will be in touch in a day or two to let u know how I feeling then.

I just came home from the hospital and am really tired and pretty weak. Thank G-d it went really well. I didn;t have too much pain except from the gass which I walked off. Last night I was teh only one who really slept in my room. I was in a 4 person room. My roomates were really nice if u are here anyone from NYU last night hi!!! I woke up and was in pain this morning but I waited till closer till when I was going to leave to take something since I wanted to not be in pain when I went up my stairs at home and for the car ride home. I am soooo glad I did the surgery. I am already less hungry and I feel good just weak since I am just a day out. I am going to lay down now but will write more later.

I am having my the surgery the same day with Dr. Fielding. What time do u have to be there? I have to be there at 8 am. I can't beleive its less then two days away!:tongue2:

I live in NY and I am having the surgery on Mon in Manhattan in NYU

Well I was away for three days due to my holidays and I see I missed soo much. I am glad to hear that everyone is doing well. I got my chest x-ray results back mon and they said it was fine boy did I give a sigh of relief that it will be on time. I just hope that they don;t open me up and then close me b/c my liver is too fatty. I haven't lost too much weight just about 2-3 pd and i have been very strict about my diet. I got a little fusturated and tonight had a small bite and I mean a real small bite of brownies that I made for my guests for the holiday. I am going to tell dh to finish it I can't have it in the house its too much of a temptation for me. I can't believe that I have 4 more days till my surgery!! I am driving my dh crazy with my counting. But I am nervous and very excited that I am getting this done its somehting I have been waiting for for a long time. anyways enough rambling for now I am going to find out what time I have to be there tomm so I will be in touch. Good luck for those being banded tomm.

I have 8 days left and I can't wait till surgery. I am getting nervous. I had a little snag which I hope was cleared up with my chest x-ray which didn;t come out clear. Until I hear from NYU that they recieved my new x-ray and it was fine I am going to be nervous. My liquid diet is going well I am getting used to eating so little and and becoming fuller when I drink the protein shakes. I have to drink 5 a day. I have my holidays this week if I survive this week I will be fine. anyways good for those having surgery this week.

Any one else doing the surgery want a partner? I am doing it on the 6th of Oct. So anyone else from that day I would love to have a friend to go through with it all. Please pm me.

My surgery is Oct 6 and I start my preop on mon. what is everyone having for the last meal? I keep telling my dh that is it no more this no more that I think he is getting tired of me saying that. Anyone else from Oct 6 want to be my buddy? I can realyl use someone else to help me with this preop diet and through the surgery.
