I will be 27 weeks pregnant at my next OB appointment. They also have me scheduled for my glucose test. I want to hide. Those of you that have had it post surgery how did it go? At this point I'm not concerned about being able to drink it fast enough, my concern is how is it going to make my body feel. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to drink the drink fairly quickly but within 5 mins it came back up. The woman mentioned me needing to come back to do it again or do the longer one and I said no thank you. I spoke with the OB and he had me monitor my sugar for a week 2 times a day opposed to trying to do that test again since I knew there was no way it would ever stay down. I

I hope it goes well for you!! I know some people are able to do it... my son just didn't like me to have anything sweet.. I couldn't even have chocolate while pregnant lol

I'm in the same boat I had my son was fine until the depo shots now I have gained 45lbs

One huge thing to remember is not to stress I think that is bad for when you are trying. I always hear stories of when people stopped stressing it they wound up getting pregnant

Yeah most of my weight is around my tummy I have all of that beautiful extra skin and still have my back rolls haha I had the surgery Nov 2012 and became pregnant June 2014.

Goal weight I am still far from it... when I started my journey I was 303 .. day of surgery I was 282 and the lowest I had gotten down to was 187 but when I found out I was pregnant I was 199. I wanted to get down to 140 but I will take 150-160 since I have a bigger bone frame. Right now though I have to go to the Dr. Monday because I started the Depo shot after I had my son and now I am gaining weight like crazy. I had gotten down to 196 after having him and now I am at 213.

Since my period was normal I ordered the ovulation tests from eBay since they were cheaper and would test around day 13 and so on until it was positive then I tell hubby and he put his work in haha. The day we conceived we did it 3 times so crazy but we honestly didn't think it would happen so soon. All of the other times it was once or twice during ovulation.

Pregnancy was great!! I was actually happy that I was able to eat a bit more without feeling the restriction. My pregnancy actually was easy I didn't have morning sickness really maybe only 2 times, I didn't get a big huge baby bump he actually popped around 28w but I still wasnt huge when I had him at 38w

I am very worried if I will get restriction back after I deliver. I am currently 32 weeks. I started at 150 and am up to 184. still have about 8 weeks to go, so I hope I don't gain too much more.

My restricition came back a bit but I am going to do a week on liquids to try a hard reset and see if that helps. I also no longer have an apitite like before I was pregnant.

Oh good luck and lots of baby dust to you!! I had never gotten tested for fertility but just thought there was a problem with me since I had never gotten pregnant and my ex husband had a child with his current wife. I decided on the VGS with the hopes of coming off of bloodpressure meds and to get pregnant when the time was right.

My husband and I activly tried for 3 months and the 3rd month we got pregnant. I charted to see when I was ovulating and we also used PreSeed so I am thinking the combination of all 3 worked and my son just turned 5 months old on Sunday

If you ever want to talk or have more questions I am here

I was 199lbs when I found out I was pregnant and I was I think like 225 when I gave birth. After having my son I dropped down to 196lbs rather fast considering he just turned 5 months.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Do you know how far along you are? I would start on a prenatal and the OB can give you a script for a better one when you see him/her. When I had gottn pregnant I contuinued to eat as I had been except I felt like a bottomless pit so I would eat until I was full but it was never an issue. Just make sure you continue getting your fluids in and protien.

The sleeve helped make me a mommy I was never able to conceive but after the weightloss it happened I had my surgery 11/2012 and had my son 3/2015

Congratulations to you!! The only issue I had during pregnancy was non-sleeve related and that was high blood pressure. I hope your pregnancy goes well as well as your delivery

Hello,

I fell pregnant 19 months after the sleeve. I had my son March 2, 2015 and I had actually gotten below my pre-pregnancy weight since having him. While I was pregnant I felt like an endless pit, I was able to eat more then normal and I took advanatage of that haha but since having the baby I no longer have an appitie ( like after surgery).

Congrats ladies...I had my son 3/2/15 @ 38 weeks via c-section (not planned). Can't wait to see pics and updates from everyone else

Oh that's odd...I'm currently 36w6d pregnant with my first but I'm high-risk because of my blood pressure. The doctors had no concern over me having the sleeve but I wonder if other wls may cause some to be high risk. The one good thing about high risk is I'm able to see the baby more because I have more scans to make sure he's growing :-) I'm sure you'll be just fine :-)

I was taking over the counter prenatal Vitamins instead of a multi Vitamin. When I fell pregnant we just switched me to prescription prenatal vitamins and I've also been taking the B12 that's all.

On Monday I'll be 31 weeks pregnant with my first child a little boy :-) I'm feeling great just tired....It's been a great pregnancy I can't really complain at all. Aside from sore breast and feeling tired I had no other symptoms. My favorite thing about being pregnant is being able to feel my little man moving around in my belly. My only concern is when am I going to deliver...I'm high risk because of my blood pressure so they are talking about inducing me sometime between 37-39 weeks. As for weight gain I am up 21lbs but didn't really start putting it on until maybe 20 weeks.

I'm no longer taking Protein Shakes. I only take prenatal Vitamins and Vitamin B12. :-) If still TTC you may want to look into preseed it's a lube to use while TTC....within 3 months along with tracking ovulation we fell pregnant. I can't say if that's what helped or not definitely but it was worth the shot :-)

You may want to try PreSeed as well...It's a lubricant to use while TTC we used it and fell pregnant. I can't say this is what did or did not do it for us along with ovulation testing.

My face has broken out like I was a teenager lol I hope it goes away after my son is born lol

Hi Ladies,

Just curious if you had that beautiful big baby bump or not really? I'm 27 weeks and just really look fluffy around the edges lol

I was 19 months post op when finding out I was pregnant I am currently 26w 2d pregnant expecting my baby boy in March :-) without the sleeve I don't think this would have been possible

Hello,

Just curious how far along all were when they gave birth to their babies and what number baby was it?

Thanks in advance :-)

An update, were having a baby boy :-)

I had the glucose test last week @20 weeks and I was fine. I read many stories which scared me but I decided I'd rather give it a go rather then prick my finger for a week or two.

Hello, I didn't have PCOS but I was never able to fall pregnant and I really feel that the sleeve helped! Within 3 months of trying we fell pregnant.. I also used lube called "PreSeed" ( I do not need lube but seen it helped others ttc) the last 2 months of trying and I am not sure if that is what helped along with ovulation tests but I am sure it didn't hurt.

Good luck to you and lots of baby dust your way!!

I am 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant now and I was about 1 yr 7 months out from the Sleeve when we got pregnant.

Hello,

I am not a mommy yet but in the process lol I am currently 4 months 1 day and my doc is aiming for me to have a natural vaginal delivery, no C-section (unless something comes up and it is needed but not sleeve related).
