Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Its Me Again I wrote so much that It wouldn't let me go any farther so Here I am again. I wanted to say that the number one reason for wanting WLS apart from losing weight is to be able to have childern. I have tried to have a baby but to know avail. And was told by a Dr. that because of my weight it has caused my to be unfertile. Also I was at one time taking pills the 1st 10 days of each month in order to have a period. However since I started working out and losing weight on my own my period has faithfully come on by itself without any meds since September 2003. Thank You Lord!!!. I have been doing some research on women who have had the problem that I have as far as having children and what I found out is that many of the women who had wls became so fertile after the surgery that the were able to have children. Some women were pregnant months after surgery. Now this is not advisable Dr. Braggs says that you should wait at least 2yrs. Im 35yrs old so 2yrs is not bad. However I was so encourage by the results of those women that it inspired me to go on and have the surgery. Now I am aware that it is not place in stone that I will be able to have children after surgery but I believe that my chances are better if I do have WLS. Well thats enough for now.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Well Aziza, don't give up, even if you are 35. My son was born when I was 42! I will say it's a lot easier to deal with a small child when one isn't also carrying around all that extra weight. Hey, since losing more than 120 pounds, I can keep up with his little hiney at the SF Zoo, and he's three-and-a-half. He even tires out before I do! Best of luck to you! If you want to contact me off-list, feel free to write me at eleanor@.... Do put " Richmond " in the subject line, so I know it isn't spam. I get TONS of that! Take care!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 And I was 39 when I had my third son and was 46 when I had my first last and only daughter. They have all their body parts where they 'should' be (I pray that is not offensive to anyone) and (unfortunately at times) their lungs and vocal cords work just fine when they need to holler. Actually, the princess is right now late for preschool and the prince is getting his career day stuff ready for his school. Gotta run.... Re: Why I Want To Have WLS Well Aziza, don't give up, even if you are 35. My son was born when I was 42!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Hi Aziza! Thanks for sharing all that you have - it was almost like reading my own biography! I found out I was diabetic when I went to Kaiser for infertility and also was given the pills to take (they make you feel so nasty!!!) to have a period. That has been one of the many benefits of this surgery - fertility. I'm still pre-op but have heard so many stories about the increase in fertility after surgery. Good luck with everything - I know there are a lot of other women out there like us!!! F. > Its Me Again > > I wrote so much that It wouldn't let me go any farther so Here I am > again.
