Hi my names sara I have pcos one of my main reasons of geting my surgery is anybody else dealing with this?

I have PCOS and this is the reason why my husband and I decided the surgery was the best way to go. My doc pretty much said my body needed a rude awakening and this drastic measure would help me achieve my dream! I've been married for 10 years and we are EXTREMELY excited about the many possibilities in the future.. I just recently had my surgery so I haven't been to meet with my doctor.. I kinda don't want to take BC because I have had many bad experiences with them (mainly weight gain) and I also don't know how long to wait for it.. Aaahhh... the many possibilities!! I see the light!!

I have had PCOS for ten years. The weight that came with it I done reason for my surgery. Can't wait to try to get PG in 18 months!!!

I will say be careful. I planned on same thing bit figured we didnt have to be to careful as it had been years of no babies or protection and surprise i got pregnant the one time we didnt use any. Im so happy for u though and i did this surgery for the same reason. Good luck

I to have bc problems and we decided plan around ovualtion. Just be careful i spontaniously ovualted right after i bled so whatever u choose do it 100%

I have PCOS and that is the main reason for my surgery. My insulin resistance is very bad and has caused many problems. I was diagnosed about 7 years ago and have tried a gagillion things with no avail. My husband and I want to start a family and I was told this is my best option. My surgeon said it will drastically improve my insulin resistance, weight and in turn fertility.

I am happy that so many of you have had baby success. I have read that PCOS makes losing weight slower even with VSG, had this been the case with any of you?

My surgery is set for sept 16.

That was one of my reasons as well. However, your fertility will return with force. I'm pregnant now and just like previous writers. One month unprotected gave me baby number 3. No medical intervention no fertility drugs. Just the plain old fashion way lol. Good luck, and I hope you getas much Success as I did. Just over a month after Surgery my period return, and for the first time in my life I had 28 day cycles.

I am on the shot!

Same here lol. Baby three and i thought we'd never truly have another.

does pcos cause wt gain I have pcos too.

Actually PCOS is a symptom of having too much weight on board. Fat (adipose) causes increased levels of androgens (male sex hormone) to be circulating on our systems. That's what makes it difficult to get pregnant. Women with PCOS don't ovulate as regularly, so it's hard to time sex with ovulation because it happens so infrequently. When we lose weight, often our periods become regular again and ovulation more regular, making it easier to get pregnant! There is also a component of insulin resistance with PCOS that can inhibit ovulation. That's why trying a medication like Metformin can be helpful. All in all, weight loss is good and can cure PCOS! Hope this helps!

(Don't forget there are exceptions to every rule. I know some who aren't overweight that have PCOS. It more common as stated above however)

For those who already had surgery, how long did you wait before trying? My husband and I had this discussion today..

We were not trying and i was only five months out from surgery when i found out i was about three weeks pregnant. I had lost 60 lbs at that point. I know it not the best answer but when your ready for that baby let go and have fun. It can happen quick. They say 5-10% makes pcos better. Good luck

Side note we were trying not to get pregnant and due to past difficulties getting pregnant figured we would start six months before we wanted to be pregnant thinking it would take that long but surprise we slipped up once and it was that easy.

Really hope it's this easy for us. We tried for 9 years before we adopted.
