4. When you were pregnant, could you see your stomach/gastric sleeve in your ultrasounds?
Nope, the only thing I saw in those ultrasounds was the baby. (Well sometimes I suspected they were just showing me random screen snow! I mean seriously, how could they tell that was a kidney when the kid’s no bigger than a plum!)

Hey, I know this post was a long time ago but i am about to embark on pretty much the same journey you went through. I too have PCOS and we have been trying for a baby for 5 years now and nothing, all the fertility doctors tell me to lose weight like its as simple as that and wont help with IVF until my BMI is under 35. Finally my doctor put me forward for weight loss surgery as all my attempts have only resulted in 3-5KG loses over months of trying( being 129KG and 5’10” ). at the moment i have been given the option between the Band and Sleeve and i am leaning slightly more towards the sleeve i think mainly because its permanent. Reading your story brought tears to my eyes as this is the best possible outcome i could i want for myself, Congrats BTW! Did you have any changes in your PCOS after the surgery? Is there any tips or hints you can give me to help me along the way? i am scared that i am pinning all my hopes on this surgery to help me lose the weight and in the end there will still be no baby!
I was just wondering how long did you wait after having weight loss surgery to try to become pregnant?
That for all the great information regarding concerns about the pregnancy and frequently asked question. I know that infertility and weight or obesity go hand and hand. I personally did not have difficulty with inferality but a close friend was never able to have children because of it so it is dear to my heart. I also had teh gastric sleeve surgery and had great result. Is funny how 1 little action will change your life forever. Any ways thank for the great blog, keep up the good work.
How long you waited before you became pregnant?
The Doctors advised that I should wait 6 months before undergoing more IVF treatments. However, each patient is different and you should seek and take advice from your medical professionals.
Wow! Thanks for sharing all your expertise and experience on this very sensistive topic. You are a brave woman!
