Hey All,


Glad to see this forum. I am in the midst of trying to get a revision. I had bypass in 2004 and have gained almost all of my weight back. I only lost 100 pounds on bypass because my doc said I was big boned (didn't even know this was a true condition) so I decided to see if I can get a revision to DS. My PCOS was dormant from 2004-2010 and then the weight starting coming back on no matter what food I ate and how hard I exercised. I had 2 IUIs in the past year and they both failed and bc I get my period regularly and also ovulate on my own the only thing my RE could suggest was losing weight and they have new rules so they won't even do IUIs much less IVF if you are not at the weight they want to see you at. So here I am once again exploring WLS. 

I was dx w/ PCOS in 2000 after my mother called me while I was in college and told me that she thinks I have this disease called PCOS after watching Montell Williams. I was like come on Mom seriously but when I came home for break I went to endo who confirmed PCOS dx but didn't know really anything about it. I mostly ignored by POCS over the years until my weight got out of control and being see the RE who specializes in PCOS. I wasn't interested in getting pregnant at that time but was sick of shaving every other day. 

I am hoping I will be able to have this revision surgery bc I am sick of feeling so tired and old due to all of these health problems and most importantly I want to be pregnant. 


Well just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. 

I know right I told my Dr I did not know how he expected me to get pregnant on it when my husband could not get near me without me wanting to kill him lol   I was queen B when taking it  my husband made me stop taking them he said IVF or adoption but no more ***** pills lol

Good Luck I had taken the provera to get my period and then clomid  with no luck the only thing it did for me was make me act like a total lunatic. 

I went through this,  the clomid treatments the whole 9.  Be careful and good to your self.  PCOs causes a hormone imbalance and usually weight gain.  I am surprised it popped up after RNY as my Surgeon told me it would stop it or reverse it, is it possible you have had it for sometime?

Well instead of your body ovulating like it should the eggs build up in the ovaries making them look like lil clusters of grapes.  

The clomid will help you to gow the eggs to matuirty and ovulate.  Also there will be a lot of ultrasounds and babysitting of the eggs.  Are you just on clomid now or will you be doing the HCG shots as well to time ovulation?

I got pregnant using this method, but i had a couple of miscarriages and pre term delivieries due to incompetent cervix.  Dont take a pg test after the HCG shot you will get a false positive from the shot.

Good luck to you on your journey and with your quest to have a family. I will gladly share my experience with you on this.

Thank you!!! I to have to shave,  it makes me feel less like a woman.  I mean with ym make up and all you cant tell it unless it is late in the day!!!  I was hopingonce i reached goal, that the laser removal would work.  Oh how awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
