Ok i weigh 168 and did weigh 275, i know good loss but not where i wanna be,  i gained about 100 pounds with my son, i dont want to gain weight like that again, but i have come to reality that i am not loosing any more weight and guss im not going to, i had surgery april 07 and i havent lost any weight since about a year ago or more, just bounce around with the same few pounds, anyone else have this prob? anyone had revision surgery? also what about getting preg after surgery? i have been on depo for 5 years!!! should it be hard for me to get preg?

I can tell you first hand that it wasn't hard for me to get pregnant.  I had PCOS since my early teens and never thought pregnancy would be possible without some type of help re: fertility treatments etc.  Now I am 30 weeks pregnant.  I have gained 13 pounds - which has been mentally tough on me.  I am hungry as hell ALL THE TIME and it seems that I will never stop wanting to eat.  I have talked to some other people that had babies post-gastric bypass and they have said that the appetite diminishes after the baby is born.  I sure hope so because it seems like I can slowly eat and eat, and eat and eat and eat.... You get the idea... I really hope I do not put on too much more weight before the baby is here but it is what it is.  It's about the baby - not me and my selfish "self image".  I am trying to not be hard on myself about it.  Anyway - the people that I have spoken with say that their excess weight fell right off - AND then some after the baby was born.  I hope that is the same case with me because I am going to crack down on myself hard after he's here.

What is PCOS? i see alot of people refer to it but never say what it means.... I hope your right. Dont be to hard on yourself, 13 pounds is nothing for someone who is 30 weeks!!!

Thank you - I keep telling myself that it could be a lot worse. I have friends that have put on 60-90 pounds during their pregnancies.  13 pounds by comparison isn't too bad.  PCOS stands for poly cystic ovarian syndrome.  They actually have a forum here on OH for it because it is largely caused by obesity.

LOL - no I do not know any post bypass patients who have gained that much.  I am talking about friends who have not had weight loss surgery.  As far as my post WLS friends, they have gained 5-20 pounds max that I know of.

I would die if I were to gain that kind of weight back.  I don't know what I would do!! Haha
