Hello their everyone, my name is Karen. I have PCOS and Im a 21 yrs old. I've been trying to have a baby with my husband. We've done In vitro and NOTHING so my Dr recommended me to get weight loss surgery so my chances of being a mother can increase. Basically so my PCOS symptoms can decrease. Are their any ladies here that have PCOS and have the surgery and have a baby now? or did your DR recommend this too ? thanks in advance

Being that I am only 4 months post op I'm not trying to get pregnant just yet, but PCOS and fertility are the biggest reasons I chose to have WLS. I can tell you that in these 4 short months I have noticed a lot of improvements with my PCOS symptoms and I am A LOT happier!

I also had to make the decision to stop trying to conceive and have WLS so that I may try to conceive in the future. I have PCOS that was only diagnosed 1.5 years ago. I was on birth control for 19 years and the doctor's missed the PCOS the whole time. I am 35 y/o and my husband and I tried to conceive for 2 years. The doctor's had been recommending WLS for the last 5 years as weight just kept creeping on even though I was on a great diet and had a personal trainer (that pesky PCOS). I am 5 weeks post op and have lost 42 pounds since the pre-op diet (a total of 7 weeks). I feel so much better and am glad that I chose to do surgery first and then try to conceive in a few months when it is healthy to do so. It was a heartbreaking decision at the time, but one that I do not regret at this moment.

@Karen2012, you are still very young, talk to your doctor's but you if you are able to have surgery first, in my opinion, I would do that in order to feel better and be healthier and ultimately have more energy to run around after those little ones that will hopefully come in the future. Good luck in whatever way you go.

Thanks for responding my question wonderful people and YES I think its gonna be the best for me to have weight loss surgery and then try again for baby #1. I mean Im already half way I've gone through many failed fertility treatments so I guess I have to try this now....who knows maybe I'll be thin and with a healthy baby YEAHHHHHHH LOL <3 have a wonderful day

I was diagnosed with PCOS 7 years ago . I am 4 months out and at 3 months out I was not longer insulin resistant ,no bad cramps when I get my period. So yeah pretty much my sleeve helped me a lot with PCOS,so far so good, Your periods will become normal after you weight loss most likely if you suffer from irregular ones . Good luck, you won't regret this surgery.

Thanks for answering my question doll; and wowzers!! congrats on your weight loss!! that is just amazing
