Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Hi Amy from Wisconsin! You live in a beautiful state; I was at Green Lake this past summer for a conference and enjoyed my stay very much (I'm from Iowa). I would've *loved* to have gotten pg pre-op, but it was pretty much impossible due to PCOS infertility. In my way of thinking, once you've lost the weight, you're healthier and better able to sustain a pregnancy (although there are a few women here who didn't have any trouble either way, before OR after, so it's not a universal fact). You should take stock of your own individual situation... your age... how healthy were you during you last pgcy and were you able to conceive easily... how was your recovery time postpartum... gestational diabetes... etc. Give yourself about a year post-op before you start trying to conceive (depending on what your surgeon recommends); do you want your childrens ages spaced apart by that much, or does it matter... etc etc etc. It's an individual thing, really. There are lots more folks on here who will have much better advice than me!!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 We have four living children and two angels. I never had any trouble conceiving or with the pregnancies until I gained a lot of weight (65 pounds). Then I had miscarriages, a still birth and a neonatal death. We aren't sure of the reasons for any of them, but I also developed undetected type two diabetes (finally diagnosed last year), high blood pressure and possible PCOS with the weight and that could have caused my troubles having children. We have been trying to conceive for 3 1/2 years-since the loss of our son and nothing has happened, even with meds and IUI. I am praying that with the weightloss, my infertility will resolve itself and we will be blessed with another child. Now we are trying NOT to conceive until I am past the majority of the weightloss. I am already off diabetic meds with only 25 pounds gone. Reading about your pregnancies helps to give me hope. Hugs to all, Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
