>Do you belong to any of the lists for large people with diabetes

I was just looking back at old messages and see where a, also another

large woman who has PCOS and diabetes, told you her conception and pregnancy

history:

100-plus/message/19718

and suggested you visit the mailing lists that she had been on that catered

to people in your predicament:

" I can also suggest a couple of support groups here on for overweight

moms' trying to conceive (OASIS overweight and seeking infertility support

and OTTC overweight trying to concieve). "

Has that been of any help to you?

Hi and everybody else,

I have PCOS and it is a nightmare! It's one of the main reasons that I

decided to have WLS. After struggling with my weight for so long my Dr.

told me that it would be almost impossible for me to lose weight because

of my PCOS and also that I'm insulin resistant (a side effect of PCOS.

Not everybody has it though).

I have a lot of the other nasty side effects as well. My periods are

six weeks long and very heavy. I have facial hair that I have to remove

every other week. My hair started falling out a couple of years ago. I

don't ovulate. I haven't been able to get pregnant after many years of

trying. It's a yucky thing to mess with.

When I first got my band I was so excited when I dropped my first 20 lbs

fast. I thought FINALLY I'll beat this disease. But I now haven't lost

one pound since July 4th. Not one pound and I'm on my second fill. I

have 8.7 cc's in a 10 cc band and still no loss. I'm starting to panic

that because of my PCOS that the band isn't going to work for me. I've

talked to several women on Obesity Help that have PCOS and they've been

able to lose their weight it just comes off a lot slower. So I'm still

trying to have hope.

I'm on 2000 mg of Metformin which is a diabetic medicine that they use

to help treat PCOS. It's a helped my periods some and my hair is slowly

growing back in but it hasn't really helped with the weight loss.

Anyway let me know if you have any quesitons. Good luck!

>>I want to thank you guys for giving me some hope with this PCOS business.

I have been diagnosed with PCOS for almost 10 years. I had two daughters and I feel very blessed. The birth control pills helped me to have my daughters....even though it took four years between them. I conceived my second daughter a month after I had lost 15 pounds. So, in my experience, even a 15 pound loss resulted in ovulation and conception. Keep the faith.

Okay, I have read several of the articles on PCOS. However, I am NOT of child bearing age! Every article I have read talks about young women of child bearing age. I am 53 and post menopausal. So I don't understand how this would apply to me. I am baffled as to why he would think of this for me; unless he is thinking outside the box, but I read the list of symptoms and I don't really fit. Oh, well, when I see him march 3rd, and I have my blood tests and hopefully my saliva tests results, I will delve into this with him. C.

Here are a few links regarding PCOS and Post-menopausal women. Maybe he has PCOS

on the brain because of me...and also because so many doctors who aren't

fertility doctors don't consider it.

Thanks, Lori! I do have excessive weight gain and obesity, prior to menopause I did have very heavy periods that were irregular at times, and at other times were quite regular; I do have skin tags, although they are very small, but I have low to normal cholesterol, no acne, no libido problems (to bad DH does, lol!), no brown skin patches unless you count freckles, lol, never been checked for ovarian cysts, and don't have excessive facial or body hair. I do have exaustion and some lack of mental alertness, but I am also severely insomniac, so that could be responsible for some of it. Like I said, I will be talking with Dr. Bain on my follow-up visit Saturday.

,

I only started going to him last June and it took me several months to really

trust him, or at least his judgment. Not because I didn't think he was a fine

doctor, but after doing so much research on my own, I was convinced I knew more

than he did! I'm much better now, however.

I have a new patient that was just diagnosed with PCOS. She has not had bariatric surgery however she is looking into the lap band. She is a college student and dines on campus. She is also an athlete and works out daily. She doesn't know what to eat at the cafeteria. I don't have a lot of experience with PCOS. Does anyone have meal plans/ideas for a low GI diet??

Ian,

I and a few others on here have been helped immensly by a product

called Roach Prufe. It is a powder that is put all over your house. You

dont clean it up, you just leave it down. This would be a very easy

thing for your parents to do. You can do a search from the home page on

either Roach prufe, or Rita. You will find lots of information on it.

It can be bought at Ace hardware, or ordered online.

Good Luck

Ian, if you do decide to buy the Roach Prufe we ordered ours direct from the manufacturer - Copper Brite. They have a phone no on their web site and it is not a free call nor do they advertise they sell direct, but my husband called them and they sold us 2 cases (24 1# cans) for $135. and change. This was also prepaid freight included. They do not accept credit cards but I mailed them a check and ours arrived in less than a week. I don't think they had even had time to get our check before they shipped it. They were very nice to deal with but said the price on their product was going to go up - did not say how much - but what we got ours for was cheap enough for me.

Good Luck, Joan

[Guest guest]

A person can never be ready being struck w/ this pestilence. We have

no idea what to do in the very beginning, we scour these types of

forums looking for answers, get extremely overwhelmed, get very

discouraged, and start doing trial and error based on what other

members recommend. After awhile, we all develop our own protocols

and rituals which take the stress off a bit compared to the very

beginning but exhausting and stressful nonetheless. I'm almost at

month 5 and have spent $3000+. This is nothing compared to ppl

who's been here longer.

I would gladly fork over $10000-20000 in the very beginning and even

throw out most of my belongings like clothes and furniture if that

meant I didn't have to go through w/ what I'm going through (No I

don't have all that cash lying aruond you get the idea). Instead, we

want to try to salvage as much as possible at first, but slowly come

to realization that some things are just not worth keeping and we

start throwing things out. At the end of a major cleaning session,

you're saddened by all the valuables or sentimental items you threw

out, but you're also amazed at how much junk you've managed to cling

onto for all these years and in some ironic sense feel liberated.

I'm at a point that besides some of the furniture I kept, all the

stuff I bought related to this take up more space than the amount of

material belongings I have left.

If someone new to all this used roach prufe and eradicated them all

say in a month or two, the cost and pain are very minimal. I'll

gladly spend the $135. We still have not found the silver bullet

but could this be it? It truly saddens me when I see a new name on

this forum. But I sure hope we're at least making some progress

with our findings of what works and what doesn't so ppl after us can

benefit from it.
