PCOS and Pregnancy and WLS

Hello!  I was diagnosed with PCOS 22 years ago!  By the grace of  God, I became pregnant 5 yrs ago.  A miracle baby for sure!  I am no 9 months post op from the WLS and I am pregnant.  My cycle has been like clockwork since my surgery!  Of course, I am no doctor but I would say that there is defiantely hope! Good Luck! Maria Smith

Good Advice, thanks a lot, i will keep this forum posted on my status.

Oh, it's deffinately possible! I have a lap band, and my weight loss is much slower than RNY people. I'd lost about 60 pounds, had decided I no longer wanted to be on the pill (for reasons totally not related to pregnancy) and two weeks later I ovulated and concieved. So yeah, it's deffinately possible. I'm 8 months post-op, 7 weeks pregnant, not at my ideal weight... but... happy non-the less.  :) Michelle

ME, ME, ME, did I mention ME... I had Rny in July of 2005 and have SEVERE PCOS. I lost 150lbs and got pregnant 10 months post op while taking the ortho evera patch for birth control! I gave birth Feb 26,2007 to a healthy baby girl named Alyson Jade. She weighed 6lbs 5oz and was 19 1/2 inches long..  My hubby and I have been together for 11 years and had never used any birth control at all until I had RNY. I thought when my surgeon told me that pregnancy was a high risk after surgery that he was joking but I guess not... We were going to try Clomid in October after my one year anniversary but I found out in June that I was pregnant.  Don't ever let someone tell you that it can not happen. I have a beautiful little girl that is living proof that miracles can happen. Good luck to you.. Melissa Yeager RNY 07/11/05 Mother to Alyson Jade Yeager

Congratulations, Congratulations, thats news i love to hear.  I am going to see my OB/GYN next week, and i will request that he does put me on birth control pills, maybe in a few years or months, i will be sharing the same joy.  Also, thanks for the advice, and once again Congratulations.
