My husband and I decided to start trying, as instructed by my doctor we could try right after I take our my Nuva ring, she started that some people are able to get pregnant in the first 2 months, and after 2 months some women have issus staying regular.
I'm just wondering what are some people experiances?Has your body stayed normal, or did the pcos come back and give issues again? I'm currently not on any medications. Before I was on the Nuva ring and 2000 a day Metformin.

One of my major reasons for WLS is to become healthy enough for pregnancy and hopefully lessen the infertility problems associated with PCOS.  I think it is super interesting that your gyn told you that in his experience WLS is the only meaningful long-term weight loss solution.  That reaffirms my decision!  

Anyway, I wanted to do the lap-band for all the reason you stated, but found out that pregnancy is safe after all types of WLS and that opened my eyes to consider all the alternatives.  

Congrats on the birth of your son!  I unfortunately was not able to get pregnant before my WLS surgery.  I had the RNY.  Anyway, was his stats on weight loss based on his experience or overall?  If I recall from my surgeon's last seminar (I speak for him monthly but usually sit outside until I speak at the end...but did sit through an entire seminar recently as a friend was attending) and I believe that overall for all patients (not just PCOS) the average weight loss for lapband is 55-65% excess weight, RNY 75-85% excess weight and DS roughly the same as RNY...I don't remember the stats for the VSG.  Anyway I run a support type group online for women with PCOS who've had WLS (all kinds) and there have been pregnancies with each surgery so far except for the DS.

Not to discourage you from the lapband, because it too is a valuable tool, but in my experience from what I've seen on my thread (located at Soulcysters.com) my cysters who've had lapband are at a much lower amount of weight lost even at 2-3 years postop.  You may want to weigh your weight loss needs with each surgery available to you and see which one fits you best.  It might end up being the Lapband, but then again it could also be the RNY, DS or VSG.  You should talk these pros/cons with a qualified bariatric surgeon, not your OB/GYN.

Regardless...you asked about pregnancy.  I can tell you that I've had 2 successful & healthy pregnancies post RNY.  I can also tell you that I've had 2 friends with lapband have successful & healthy pregnancies.  One friend was unfilled, one was not.  My friend that was unfilled did so because she had hyperemesis gravidarum (aka super puking while pregnant as she put it) and at one point had to be put on a Zofran drip to control her nausea as she was afraid of the band slipping do to the nausea.  Fortunately her band didn't slip, however, as baby grew her port did become uncomfortable due to the muscles in her abdominal wall stretching.

IF you'd like to know more about post RNY pregnancy I can definitely tell you about that.  Good luck!

yes she was aware but studies didn't show lap bands failure rate with pcos paitents until a little after my surgery.  Totally bummer.

My Medical Spa does Dark Skin for Laser Hair Removal....they just set the laser to a different setting. I've viewed dozens of before and after's of dark skin...they all look fine to me! I will be going in for my 2nd laser treatment for my chin end of July (I too have PCOS and my chin hair is VERY embarrassing)
