Question:
Infertility and WLS

I had a misscarage seven years ago and have not been able to get pregnant.We have been trying for five years.After my wls in January will this be cured? Has it helped anyone else?    — nicole K. (posted on December 4, 2002)

Is there a reason behind your infertility? Are you not ovulating? Or do you get regular periods? Have you seen a Doctor for your infertility? My infertility was caused by PCOS (see a Endocrinologist if you have this- not a OB/GYN, please) and WLS helped get my symptoms under control through weight loss and I was able to become pregnant. However WLS is no guarantee to fertility- still many obese women (PCOS or not) do find themselves very fertile (many a surprise happens around here) upon losing a large amount of weight. WLS will also not CURE PCOS as it is incurable, however it helps symptoms immensely! Go visit http://www.inciid.org/faq/pcos.html
