my story!♥

Hello, My name is Colleen. I recently had RNY surgery on Feburary 25th, 2013. I weighed in at 210lbs the day of surgery. At my largest I weighed 225. Im 5'1. All my life I have had issues with weight. At age 16 I got on birth control and I ended up gaining so much weight off of that. At 18 I was diagnosed with PCOS & HYPOTHYROIDISM. The past four years ive struggled with concieving. My body never ovulated and I had irregular cycles. On December 13th, 2012 I had my first consult with a bariatric surgeon. He told me my chances of concieving after surgery are very high. He felt I was a great canidate. Over the course of the next two months, I saw my physcologist, dietician, etc. I lost about 10lbs before going into surgery. Its been 22days since ive had surgery & im weighing in at 190lbs. I feel great & I can see and feel the changes happening to my body. This surgery saved me. Im so blessed!

You're doing awesome!!! Glad you've decided to take charge of your life. And be careful, you ARE more likely to get pregnant but it's safest to wait until your weight loss stabilizes. I know we have a couple ladies here that had tried for years to get pregnant and then got a surprise weeks after surgery!

Congrats on your surgery! Be careful with conceiving after RNY. I've been trying for almost 13 years and got pregnant one week post op. I'm now 7 weeks post op and 6 weeks pregnant.

I having a semi-hard time with bleeding and the baby has a low heartbeat because my body is under stress due to the rapid weightloss but he's hanging on there and will hopefully make it.

Awesome. I was on the pill but this was a topic that was not discussed by my surgeon so I had no clue. It is best to wait and I wish you lots of luck in the future ????
