Pcos Support
PCOS and I have consult with Bariatric doctor this week
Hi everyone,
I have PCOS and after 6 years of stopping infertility treatments and 9 years of ttc I have decided to look into bariatrics. My RE recommended it and said I didn't have too long to wait on trying due to elevated FSH levels now. She said a year waiting to try after the surgery wouldn't hurt my chances because if I can't get pregnant after the surgery then I wouldn't have been able to now. Anyhow, I have been pretty mad about being so overweight and struggling so long to try to conceive. I hope and pray this will work.
I am in the same boat. We have been ttc for almost 4 years with no success and at my appointment last week, my GYN strongly suggested LapBand as a "last ditch effort" as it were. I am scared and nervous, but even more so about the fact that this could be my last chance! Hang in there and let me know how your journey is going. I have my informational seminar tonight and hopefully I can get the ball rolling. Where are you on your journey?
Thanks for replying to my post, I met with the surgeon, dietician, and exercise physiologist. The doctor wants me to lose 14 lbs and so far I have lost only 5lbs in 13 days...uggg. They are looking into my insurance and then my next appointment is the 24th. I am supposed to meet with the exercise, dietician, and this time I am going to do my psych consult and I have to go to a support group once a month. Lots of things to do!! I am so frustrated though with not losing very much weight right off and I have been doing really good at my diet they put me on. I am one of those people that want things immediately..unfrotunately, I am impatient. Anyhow, you hang in there too. Maybe we can buddy up along this journey. I am pretty scared and nervous also, but ,mostly of the unknowns and wondering if I will ever have biological children.
Oh my goodness! I knew it would be a lot of requirements, but WOW. I know what you mean about wanting immediate results! I am soooo impatient! But we can do this if we hang in there! I would love to work with you and hopefully be a source of encouragement. I am leaving now to go to my first consult!
