TTC after VSG...any issues?



Recommended Posts

Short story is that 2 years ago, we TTC for over a year. I had PCOS but WAS ovulating on my own. Hubby's stuff is perfect. We did several months of clomid, trigger shots, follistim, IUI, etc. I always ovulated perfectly and always BFN.

Fast forward to now...I'm 10 months post op and dr gave us the go ahead to TTC again. He assured me the 120# I've lost has cured my PCOS and we shouldn't have problems.

I know weight loss helps non-ovulatory PCOS become ovulatory, but has anybody still needed assistance getting pregnant post-op? Or how long did it take you to conceive once you were *trying*?

Hello, I didn't have PCOS but I was never able to fall pregnant and I really feel that the sleeve helped! Within 3 months of trying we fell pregnant.. I also used lube called "PreSeed" ( I do not need lube but seen it helped others ttc) the last 2 months of trying and I am not sure if that is what helped along with ovulation tests but I am sure it didn't hurt.

Good luck to you and lots of baby dust your way!!

I am 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant now and I was about 1 yr 7 months out from the Sleeve when we got pregnant.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
