"I thought about it and decided, maybe it's not just for me"

-Hey. My husband and I are a couple that is "complete without children."  If is very mature and wise of you to admit that kids may not be what you want/need at the moment.  Being a parent is such an awesomely huge responsibility.  For me, I do not have the patience or the time to parent a child correctly.  My husband and I are also not financially secure enough either.

Some people act as if one is "weird" for not wanting or not choosing to have kids.  All I can say, is that if one is unable to provide enough time, love, attention, resources, and patience, one shouldnt have them!  They are kids!  Not dolls!  One just cant "put them away" in a corner.

So... I am sorry about your husband, but if you arent ready for ANY reason, I declare you wise!

Its also possible to have kids at almost any age now for women.  I would advise you to keep freezing the eggs you harvested.  Who knows .. n a few years you might have a hot young loyal ( and financially set) hubby and desperately want to have his children... (((())))  Saving your eggs just gives you more options .

Or maybe a significant other who's neither "hot," "young," nor rich, but who loves you as you are and wants to be your equal partner :)

Does he want to get a look at your pouch to see if it has stretched? That might be the reason behind the procedure.

Yes. He said he has to see if it's stretched and how much. I just found out about RNY revisions. I had no idea we had that option (ofcourse if approved)

Unless the EGD shows an significantly stretched pouch or stoma, you likely don't need any kind of revision.  If the infertility treatments are hormone-based, they may very well be accounting for some of the weight gain.

Having an EGD done is not a big deal (you will be given twilight sedation and won't be aware of it, and usually the worst part of it is a slightly sore throat for some people).

You say your treatments increased your appetite a little. Do you journal your food? If not, that would be a place to start. It doesn't take very much extra, especially if it's in the form of carbs, to put on 40 pounds over 18 months. That's only a little more than 2 pounds per month.
