  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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,
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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:
  8. 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.
  9. I am from BP. Where do u live?
  10. hi everyone, I wanted to know if anyone who had the surgery in NYU is going on the cruise they are having Aug 6? I don't want to be the only frum one there and I am not sure dh will want to go. They are offering kosher food. my friend went last year and she had a great time and I was still preop so I couldnt go but I want to go this year. Anyone want to come with me???
  11. Does anyone have this problem that if something is really sweet it won't go down? I sometimes try eatin Icecream It only happens on the pareve type and I throw it up. No matter what it just won't stay down!! I am going to see my parents for shavous and well its been a long time since I have seen them. THey haven't seen me since the surgery and I am nervous about their reactions. They know I had the surgery that was a secret my dh just wouldn't let me keep. I am also going to my home town and seeing people I haven;t seen a very long time (I think its been about three years since I have been home) and nervous about what people are going to say! Its not a secret that I did the surgery just wondering what people are going to think about the new me. If I have a chance will update everyone from hometown if not have a great yom tov! Not going to get to a computer before I leave so I am just posting now. Take care everyone!!
  12. How is everyone managing this yom tov? I am not I am spending more time throwing up then actually eating. I finally asked my dh if I can have matzah and cream cheese and he said yes so I filled up my stomache and I feel good. Would love to hear how everyone else is fairing? Have a gut voch and hopfully an easier 2nd days.
  13. I lost so much recently b/c I was too tight. I just had .5 cc taken out on tues and now I feel better and I can actually eat and have some strength. I eat matzah every week on shabbos since challah doesn't go down at all. This going to be my first pesach with the band and I am not even going to be home for it I just hope that nothing happens.
  14. I live in BP in brooklyn and would love to have a get together with others in the area. B"H I have lost a lot but now with yom tov time coming again I am nervous about the eating expecially since I am probably going to my parents in L.A. for Pesach.
  15. 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.
