Recommended Posts

Clomid worked great for me with my last child. Just do what the doc says and keep ur head up. I have pcos and was sleeved on the 19th. I am dying to not be hot all the time. And a period im not sure i remember what that looks like must less a normal one but fingers r crossed. I heard with weight coming off every pound makes it easier to get pregnant as well as makes symptoms less. Remember we didnt get heavy overnight and our jodies take time to reset once it goes back

A little late to the party, but I wanted to chime in that I also have pcos. The chance of losing weight and gaining fertility is the sole reason why I'm getting this surgery. I can't even imagine having a cycle that happens naturally much less like clockwork! Rofl, the things that gets us excited, right? :D

Clomid will definately help out, just have to be patient and follow doctors orders. It sometimes takes our bodies a lot longer to get with the program.. Each of us are different. I too myself have been diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 18. It has been a rollercoaster ride for the last 22yrs. Extra hair, weight problems, hormones all over the place. Not a fun life , this is the second reason I have finally decided to have this surgery. I want to finally get my finesse back and be healthy and in a few years finally start a family.

So keep the faith and just give your body and mind time to regroup and fall into its own pattern. One more thing constantly worrying and stressing about it will surely delay a menestraul cycle.. Relax it will happen.

I wanted to add my two cents. Prior to surgery, I had PCOS and infertility. My periods were never consistent, days varied....if they came at all. Went years without using chemical birth control, no pregnancies.

Fast forward to a year post op...periods come like clockwork, down to the time of day I start. I take zero meds for PCOS management.

Best of all, I got pregnant the first month we "tried", no outside help needed!

So yes, if fertility is your goal...

I have PCOS and it was the reason for my weight gain, I tried everything including eating air and I still couldn't lose weight, I am coming In to my ninth month post surgery and I am 4 kilos to goal weight yay, I still don't get my period though only had it once since surgery, but planning on baby number two hopefully it doesn't take 7 years to fall this time with the added help of the weight loss.

I have severe PCOS and haven't had a period since my early teens and I just turned 30. I'm hoping with this surgery I will lose weight and start to cycle, even though the thought of that kind of grosses me out, because I really want to have a baby. I'm hoping the surgery will help make that happen.

Had to fertility babies before my surgery and the last round unsuccessful. They wouldn't do anything more until I lost a tin of weight. Finally decided on the surgery and now I'm pregnant (earlier than I should be). I've lost a total of 98 lbs. Ovid was my fertility issue. However, ours not anymore! I still suffer from the hair growth but the major part has been resolved. :)

Pcos was the fertility office

Nothing I just take 4 adult chewable Vitamins, try to get in fluids, and just hang on for the ride lol. I'm labeled high risk just because of the surgery. But really not doing anything different. I'm struggling with Fluid intake, my stomach hurts with the nausea, its not so bad now. This is very different from my other pregnancies. :) but my next ultrasound is August 23rd.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
