Anyone else having the surgery with high hopes that it will help you get pregnant or have success getting pregnant after the sleeve with PCOS?

I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 21 and have dealt with obesity and trouble losing weight my whole life! Over the past 4 years I have had 2 miscarriages! I turned 30 this year and feel this is my only hopes to have a baby of my own.

there is a special pregnancy board that can help you with many questions

http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/427-pregnancy-with-gastric-sleeve-surgery/

from what i have heard

you are not supposed to have a baby for 2 years after surgery

that doesn't count adoption:lol:

sorry for your miscarriages

since you've lost so much weight

i "think" don't know for sure

but i think other people have said it's easier to get pregnant since they have lost so much weight

i think, i think - not medical person here

you could ask your doc

definitely check out the pregnancy board

good luck

Hey there, I got sleeved for the same reason. My surgery was just Monday but my surgeon agreed WLS was the best option to cure my insulin resistance that came with my PCOS. My surgeon did recommend waiting 2 years to start trying however I changed to a GYNO that is on the bariatric board and she is very familiar with what I'm going through. She told me a year and I will have definitely be able to have a healthy normal pregnancy. The biggest reason to wait has to do with the shock your body goes through after the major weight loss. I recommend finding a GYNO that has had other patients with PCOS that have had WLS. It helped me drastically! Good luck to you!!

Sorry about your losses // hopefully weight loss will help! I had 2 losses myself but went on to have successful pregnancies 3 times thanks to progesterone injections !!! I do have a friend that got r-ny also have and is now very shortly expecting her 2nd
