Gastric Bypass And Pcos

[Debbiebydesign 93]

At 36, I was diagnosed with PCOS and treated with Metformin. At 37, I got pregnant, surprisingly easily . I was 293 lbs. I was treated as a ID diabetic while I was pregnant, not gestational. I was high risk, even tested positive for that AFP (?) test. My pregnancy went well, considering, I even LOST weight pregnant. While my baby was " a large fetus", requiring a c-section, she was perfect. She is now a beautiful and smart kindergartner.

My friend was pregnant at the same time. 11 years younger, healthy weight, no chronic illness. She was high risk because her first child succumbed to SIDS at 5 months. She did everything she was supposed to with both pregnancies.

My point is, pregnancy is full of risk and uncertainty-nothing is absolute. Just do your best to minimize your own risk factors and don't listen to horror stories. Best of luck to you all...
