2018 Sleeves & PCOS/Fertility Issues



Recommended Posts

Good morning Beautiful People!

I was wondering how many ladies on here had surgery and had PCOS? I've been trying to conceive for 10 years now. My GYN told me my fertility should shoot up 10 fold (what 10 times nothing? lol) so my hubby and I should be careful. My main reason for having this surgery was to get healthy enough so that I could finally conceive. We're holding for for 12-18 months depending on my weight loss. We just bought a brand new 5 bedroom house. Praying I can turn one of these rooms into a nursery next year.

Would love to hear your journeys!

I have PCOS, and struggled with fertility for years... I conceived with IVF prior to this surgery but complications for PCOS have made this surgery needed. You are doing a great thing for yourself, and I just wanted to say good luck with your journey and congrats on the house!

Thank you so much!!! I feel ya girl. It's the most frustrating thing in the world. Seeing those negative tests month after month 😕 PCOS is just evil. Went for years not knowing what it was, I only found out about 2 years ago after a trip to the ER. I wish you nothing but the best, stay motivated and keep up the good work...we can do this!!! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
