Calling Successful Post-Op Mommies

Thank You!  Best of luck to you as well.  I'll be sending baby dust your way.  Keep your chin up and know that it can happen, I'm living proof.  Only 8 months to go!!  Keep in touch.  I'm always on the pregnancy after weight loss board.  Stop by and say Hi sometime.   Ash :)

Hi Alison, I too am a post-op mommy. I have PCOS and Insulin Reistance and my husband and I tried unsuccessfully for 2 1/2 years to have a baby. I had RNY on 4/24/06 and was told that I needed to wait 1 year before trying to get pregnant, in the mean time I kept track of my periods and ovulation-I actually ovulated now that I had the surgery. We waited until my 1 year check up and got the approval and boom it happened the first month and now I have my beautiful girl Chloe Elizabeth. She was born January 15th 2008 and is a healthy happy little girl. I wish you all the best and keep us posted when that day happens. God Bless, Courtney

Thanks so much for your inspirational story!

hi. all i can tell you is that w/ my pcos and getting my period maybe once a year, i never had worries about getting pregnant. following my arrival at my goal weight (and still a very infrequent period) i wound up pregnant with my 1st child. i was not planning on getting pregnant at the time, as my boyfriend (now my husband) and i were just planning our wedding. i wanted to get pregnant again right away... i tried and tried and tried and NOTHING. we were at the point of going to a fertility dr..... i had gained so much weight (64lbs) in my pregnancy that it took me almost 2 years to get it off... i went back to my goal weight and BAM! i was pregnant again (exactly 2 years and 2 days later). again i gained almost 60lbs during pregnancy and i am back struggling to lose the weight. i know i want another baby and it seems that my body is waiting for me to be at a healthy weight. so back to the basics... diet and exercise. that's my story, since you asked. good luck to you!!!! love and baby wishes!!!!
