Congratulations on your weight loss and your new found fertility. It is

wonderful. I am happy for you that you will be having your baby girl after so

long

of no babies. I had many, many years of unexplained infertility and had taken

clomid and had inseminations and still did not become pregnant. I finally quit

trying and got prego half a year later for twins on my own here I am on

#4. good Luck, sorry your babys father took off, his loss... Welcome to our

I, too, just joined but I have yet to have WLS and to

get pg. Actually, I have had two children, but have been

trying for #3 for 18 months. I also have PCOS and I just

moved from FL to Tennessee! I lived in Cape Coral, FL on

the southwest coast. So glad to hear your preg. has been

progressing so well for you. I joined just recently since I

am in the process of getting the surgery done but was

concerned about getting pg post-WLS. I just learned from my

PCP yesterday that she strongly believes she can get me pg

by putting me on Metformin. I was starting to lean toward

just trying to get pg a bit longer and then doing the WLS,

but I think I have finally decided to continue to pursue the

WLS and try again 18-24 months post-op. It seems a lot of

the moms on here have healthier pgs the longer they are

post-WLS. Congratulations on your miracle, since I know how

hard it is to get pg with PCOS!

Hi ,

Your surgery/pregnancy story is very close to mine.

I'm 32 and had surgery May 30th, 2002 (wow, almost two years ago!) and when I

got pregnant with this baby I was down from 305 to 192 (113lbs). Since being

pregnant I've also lost some weight....went down to 182 and now am looming

around 185-189. It fluctuates day to day for me.

I'm due only one day before you! July 10th, 2004. I'm also 28 weeks pregnant.

With a VERY active little boy. They say he's measuring in 50%tile so far....so

I'm happy about that. I hope to hear more about him at my next appt. on April

29th. But so far I've felt pretty good. I had some really good fatigue spells in

first trimester. Now I'm dealing more with insomnia at night. But no vitamin

deficincies and everything else seems to be well. I did just get off a bout of

antibiotics due having gotten a good case of Strep throat and sinus infection

from my other children (I have three other boys...11, 7 and 5).

Anyway...welcome! Glad to hear it's going so well for you and baby (but sorry to

hear about the dad not using his head.) Here's to some very healthy babies end

of June..early July! (I'm hoping for end of June myself LOL)
