PCOS and VSG

 Hi Everyone, I'm Michelle and new to the group and also have PCOS. I have meet several people online that have PCOS and had bariatric surgery and they are also reporting getting pregnant. My husband and I have been married 17.5 years and have spent over $60,000.00 in the past trying to get pregnant with no success. I decided that I needed a little more help to get the weight off and went to the DR. asking for the Lapband. that was 70 days ago. I was well informed and led to a different procedure called the Vertical Sleeve. Today I am 3 weeks post op and excited to get the rest of the weight off. I also had a Mirina IUD put in 2 years ago to help control the bleeding when  the Metformin did nothing for me after 6 months. The IUD is a God sent. I will have it taken out in 2 years and we will once again try for a baby.

Michelle,
Congratulations on your new adventure! I have had PCOS for as long as I can remember and am getting sleeved a week from tomorrow. I have heard very positive things about WLS decreasing PCOS symptoms and increasing fertility. My husband and I spent a fortune on fertility treatments also, and I am feeling very excited to know that this is likely to help! How are you feeling after your surgery? Any thoughts or suggestions for the recovery period?

Congratulations and good luck!  I hope that you will continue to post and let us follow your story.  I hope to have VSG around May.  I am hoping that it will help with infertility in our case too.
