I had two girls prior to my RNY, and they were 7 years apart due to PCOS. I had RNY for health and weight reasons and to help with PCOS, but had no intentions of having anymore children. Our youngest turned 2 very close to my one year surgiversary (down 105 pounds at that time) and my husband and I had a conversation about trying for a third once I was a little farther out from surgery. Well...so much for planning...I got pregnant INSTANTLY! I know have a gorgeous 7 month old son and he was my first non high risk pregnancy! By far the best pregnancy of them all!
Now, I have to be honest here though...I would never change a thing and I am so blessed to have him, however, I am struggling to lose the baby weight and that is how I found this site. Definitely worth every pound, but I just want to warn you that I am working very hard and it's only slowly falling off. It's very frustrating.
Good luck!

So here is a question for those post-op divas......has your hormones started getting weird after WLS? Please remember I have had a normal period up until this point (6 months). If your hormones went wacky, how so? and what did you do about it?
Oh, I have been on BCP's since June 2007 and had regular periods ever since.

Hello-
I had my surgery in January and started having signs of PCOS symptoms right after. Like the facial hair, irregular periods, skin tags, and brown spots on my face. My doctor said to me on my 3 month post op appt that as I lose weight my symptoms should clear up. But on my 6 month post op appt if it has not then he would refer me to an endocrondologist. I've lost a total of 43 lbs since my surgery and I still notice the symptoms there just not as bad. I have had other women issues so I don't know if maybe that's why they also haven't cleared up completely. I hope that I can get these issues resolved soon. I know they also said that when you have PCOS it causes insulin resistance which also causes weightloss issues. I was at a stall for about two months before I knew this and then found out. I discussed it with my PCP she gave me a presciption for metformin and it broke my stall within a few days. Goodluck........
