Topic: bleeding non stop after WLS
I have been bleeding almost non stop since my surgery in October......I will start my period (which I never used to do on my own) and then my doc has to give me meds to stop it.....as it will just keep going and going......had an ultrasound and doc said everything looks fine. He thinks its a combo of the PCOS and the "trauma" of surgery and rapid weight loss.....
Has anyone else experienced anything like this post WLS? Just wondering if it will level out so to speak.

Topic: RE: PCOS, RouenY, and Trying to Conceive...
I was diagnosed w/PCOS i***** Was advised that I would never have children of my own. I attempted all fertility treatments short of surrogacy. I had never had a menstral cycle on my own...never----was always drug induced. On the morning of my RNY I got my period on my own, and have had it every month just like clock work ever since. My son is 18mths old now and he is a DREAM COME TRUE!!!!! I never had a problem being a "Big Girl" but I wantred to be a mom, and that was my goal in WLS and I succeeded. I did wait until I was over a yr out and I did great. I gained 12lbs during my entire pregnancy...and I ate continuously! My son weighed 8lbs and I left the hospital the same weight I was when I got pregnant!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!
Topic: RE: Hope for less facial hair!
I have been wanting to get laser hair removal for a while..... i have alot of facial hair.... I dont shave though, I pluck it every day... morning and night.... then I take 1000 grit sand paper and go at it lol.... i know its horrible for your skin, but it makes it smooth with out shaving... I dont want to get the "5 o clock shadow"...... But Seriously it wastes about 2 hrs out of my fricken day!
Topic: RE: Hope for less facial hair!
I have to shave everyday too! It sucks so much not only do I have it on my face but on my tummy, boobs, and back. I just found a place in Vegas that is sunning a good deal for laser. nice to know I might have a chance. I still have 100lbs to go but am giving it a shot.
LIVE HOPE DREAM

I am in the same boat being worried about the VSG not working. I made my decision to go with the RNY...hopefully it is the right one.

****Got pregnant in May 2011 but lost the baby in August 2011...Gained some weight so trying to get back on track...I hate PCOS.
Okay ladies, I am so sick of miscarrying baby after baby...I had 3 miscarriage...2 after IVF cycle during the 2nd trimester with my exhusband and at 330 lbs. Final miscarriage during the 1st trimester with my current love and after RNY and naturally and after going back to the basics of of protein, protein, protein.
Now, I am blessed to get pregnant again but we are not even looking forward to this pregnancy because we know it will end up in a miscarriage!
So this time I want to be different with every pregnancy I ate like a mad woman. Chips, ice cream, bread, pasta. I craved it and I ate it. But I know with PCOS those are the things we arenot suppose to eat so I want to be different. I don't want to be on too low carbs or too high carbs. I want to make sure that I have a good blance to not impact my insulin levels and hormones.
So I am looking for advise from those who have been able to get pregnant and stay pregnant. I am look for al any the advise you can give me...PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE!!!!!

Topic: RE: Decisions
Sorry for late reply, but I had the RNY in July and so far it seems to be working. I went with RNY because I was worried about the VSG not working for me because of the PCOS. What have you decided?
Topic: RE: PCOS, RouenY, and Trying to Conceive...
I will keep you in my thoughts and hope all gets straightened out for you! I know that it is easy to get discouraged (been there, done that!) but try to stay positive and know that there is a plan for you! It just might not be on the schedule that we want it to be!
Chin up, and look at the bright side (so far)...you are losing and doing great. You are on your way to the healthiest you have been in a long time! Love that and rock the new you...everything else will come in due time.
