WLS and getting preggers.

Im waiting for the WLS....but had a question to all you PCOSers. How long did you wait to get preggers? I know the dr said 18 months to 2 years...and then laughed and said nobody lisen's. I was just wondering what the usual wait time was for eveyone. And if there was any complications.



thanks!!

I have been lurking around the Post-Op Pregnancy board.  You should go there.  You will see all sorts of stories.  I have seen women that have gotton pregnant 2 months after surgery.  Luckily they did have a healthy pregnancy.  Those weren't purposly though I don't believe.  Seems like I have seen a few women that start trying around 9-12 months out from surgery.  But yeah, go check out the Post-Op Pregnancy board................

I would have gotten pregnant at the 12 month mark but was on a medication (not related to my WLS) where I couldn't get pregnant while taking.  So as soon as I finished that we ttc'ed and got pregnant right away.  I was 16 months post op the 1st time.  The 2nd pregnancy I was 3.5 years post op.   Both of my pregnancies were complication free and 'normal'.  My OB did allow me to do an alternative to the GTT as I'm VERY sugar sensitive.  I did a fasting and 1 hr post prandial test.  Both my glucose levels were normal with both pregnancies.

Good luck!
