Diagnosed infertile, just has VSG



Recommended Posts

Prior to getting VSG last month, I was diagnosed as infertile 4/2016. I saw a reproductive endocrinologist who ran several tests, noting that I was still ovulating but have a diminished number of eggs due to premature ovarian failure (cause unknown.) I also have only one fallopian tube due to an ectopic pregnancy. I had regular periods, although my cycles had shortened in length as I got older (period is currently late but is first cycle after surgery.) Doctor figured I should have been pregnant so there must be something wrong with my one tube, even though it isn't blocked. I may have some endometriosis but nothing has been observed in my uterus. The surgeon who removed my tube noted I had adhesions behind my uterus.

I plan to wait the recommended time before trying to get pregnant and will use preventative measures until then.

However, my question is, has anyone had issues with what I experienced above and found improvement after VSG? I know weight loss helps, but I got down to 230 lbs when we were trying which shouldn't make pregnancy impossible. Since the cause of my premature ovarian failure is unknown, I was wondering if weight loss will somehow help me produce more eggs.

I know of course, I have a lot of problems that weight loss may not be able to help, but am just interested in hearing your experiences.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
