Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 Lorraine, Welcome to the group. We have a wide variety of personalities here and some have done a lot of research on FMS. If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know and I can almost bet you that someone will have the answer. Or if you are having a bad day and just want to vent, that's allowed here also.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2001 Report Share Posted January 15, 2001 I'm new to the group too. I'm 57, live alone with two big dogs and a small cat. I work from home as a copywriter. I have had FMS most of my life I guess but it was DXd about three years ago. While I have a lot of flares and still much pain from time to time, I've found that daily exercise helps tremendously. I've also lost close to 50 pounds in two years time and that has helped. Fatigue is a big problem and hurting myself weight lifting is another. I pulled a muscle in my back-shoulder area and it won't seem to heal. So I've laid off the weights and hate that as it was helping and it made me feel stronger.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2001 Report Share Posted January 15, 2001 SK -- Hi, I'm impressed with your wt. loss and exercise program and have a question. How did you get going on your program? I work all day and am on my feet about 50% of the time. By the time I get home, I am so tired and hurt so bad that exercising is the LAST thing I want to do. However, I KNOW that if I lost 75# that I'd fell a heck of a lot better. The worst of my pain is in my feet and lower legs. I use crutches to get up and going in the AM (and even to go potty at night.)After I get going I can keep up as long as I don't stop too long. The hour for lunch is a mixed blessing and curse -- I need to rest but when I get up after lunch it takes me a few minutes to be able to walk down the hall again. Give me something to motivate me, please, if you can. Thanks, Pat > > Welcome - great to have you with us.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 I have been told to wait 6 months out. Even though I was pregnant 2 weeks before my surgery, I was still told that 6 months would be the least and 12 months would be the most. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 Hi , My surgeon also requires that we wait 18 months to get pregnant. Some surgeons say 1 year. I have a check up with my surgeon next month and hope he doesn't go through the roof because I got pregnant 15 1/2 months out of WLS. It was not intentional, just poor judgment. I assumed that because it took me a year to get pregnant the first time that I could get off the pill 3 months before my 18 month check up and then get started right away. You know how they tell you to get the pill out of your system for 3 months. Anyway, I was most certain that I would be " safe " during that 3 month time period and became pregnant during the first ovulation (before WLS my cycles were 78-85 days). I don't regret that I am pregnant, just a little disappointed that I am not at goal and that I wanted to be at a lower weight before pregnancy. I am doing fine though. I would wait like your surgeon advises just so you feel better about your decision. Do you have Dr.C as your surgeon? Hope this helps some.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 First of all congratulations Rhonda!! & Rhonda, I am so happy to see your posting. My surgeon asks us to wait 2yrs. after surgery to get pregnant. I have been reading the posts here for months and was becoming increasing depressed that I had to wait! I even had my OB/GYN call my surgeon!! I guess that I was hoping that they would give me the Ok at the 1 yr. mark!! but that did not happen (surgery was 11/15 from size 32 to 20 went from 325lbs to 243) I still have a long way to go!! but I am happy so far with my progress. My surgeon really wants us to reach goal prior to becoming pregnant. I need to drop another 73lbs. I am trying to increase my excerise and my weight loss in the hope that they will give me the green light at 18 months. Wish me luck!! I just could not understand why my surgeon wanted me to wait, when it seemed like everyone here got the Ok at 1yr. and some even sooner!! But I am glad to see that there are other surgeons out there that are requireing the same, I was begining to think that mine was a little off his rocker!! good luck Jamelle > Hi , > My surgeon also requires that we wait 18 months to get pregnant.

Those of you who start at lower ranges generally don't have to wait as long as someone like me who started out at over 500. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
