I'm praying that u aren't since u don't want to be. But just in case u r, I'll say I'm 12 weeks prego and only 4 months post op. definitely not ideal and wasn't in my plan but everything has been fine so far and my doctors aren't expecting major complications so try not to get too worried either way.

IMHO, I would try for the baby first. I know that there are risks with obesity and pregnancy, but I think with good medical care, u would be ok. On another note though, I had fertility issues of my own, though I'm a little younger than u are. I didn't have VSG to get pregnant, but I'm 3 months out and 7 weeks pregnant. I know I was supposed to wait 18 months after surgery, but this is what happened. My surgeon and ob both know and are fine.

Started on soft foods today and tried chicken salad... Idk if I was eating too fast, if chicken salad wasn't soft enough, or what but I have serious chest pain right between my breasts! I wanna cry and I'm getting scared, because I feel like if something was stuck, it should have gone down hours ago. I ate around 6pm! what to do? What is this?

Thanks!!!! I was lactose intolerant before surgery and I haven't changed I'm sure. Just Iquids in, liquids out!

Yup... 2 days. Feeling pretty ok!

Hey guys! I was sleeved on Wednesday and usually I hear about constipation. However, I have diarrhea!!!!!! What's wrong and has this happened to anyone else? Think I should call the doc? I also don't urinate much... Sorry to be so gross.

Yeah... I got my date before my info was submitted to insurance. I lost 11 pounds on my pre op diet. It was 1200 calories and I did liquids for the last 3 days.

Soooo... I was thinking that this really wasn't going to happen for me. I had taken all of the steps, but insurance was taking so long to approve me. IMHO! However, today I got the call! I'm approved and having surgery in two days!!!!! Now I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster... I'm excited, nervous, sad, and anxious all at the same time! No matter what, I will be having surgery and look forward to my new life!

Hey all! I am having surgery in 3 days and so excited... My biggest concern is the loose skin! I am wondering did anyone wear compression garments? Which ones did you wear and how soon can you wear them?!!?!?

I am scheduled for the 18th 3!!!!!!

I personally would have shut her down within the first 20 minutes. Say something like, "I understand and respect your opinion, but I've already made the decision about what's right for my life. Thanks in advance for concluding this conversation!"

So, last year I finally convinced myself that I wanted to have WLS... I originally wanted LapBand until I learned about the sleeve. I found a surgeon, found out my insurance didn't cover wls, and had to change insurance. Now, I'm covered and ready to go. But, now after being sure of who my surgeon was going to be, I want to SURGEON SHOP! The one that I was going with is at a Center of Excellence and seemed great, but I feel like I can never be too sure. Sometimes those seminars seem too much like a sales pitch. Does anyone know where I can find reviews and comments about surgeons in NJ??? How many surgeons did you visit before you actually had surgery??? Help me!
