Does anyone who has had the gastric sleeve had complications with pregnancies? I had my sleeve done in March of 2013. I got pregnant in october of 2014 and miscarried within 5 weeks of being pregnant. I just recently became pregnant and was almost 7 weeks along and started bleeding, & found out that i was having a tubal pregnancy and had to be taken to emergency surgery to have my left fallopian tube removed because it had already ruptured. Im so scared to get pregnant again because i have lost both pregnancies and me and my husband really want babies. If anyone has any advice or someone else who has dealt with this same issue so i know im not alone?! Thanks! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much for the advice and for everyones blessings!!!! There are so many different things that we as WLS patients deal with that alot of doctors dont know how to treat or how to handle it...ive been brushed off alot by certain doctors. But it really is a concern for me...hopefully i will get answers! Thanks so much Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I had this same bad taste and loss of smell when i was sleeved in 2013. It seemed like it lasted forever, but it lasted about 6 to 7 months after my surgery. Longest 6 months of my life! I literally had to force myself to eat anything..and when i did i became nauseous. I PROMISE you that this goes away. Your body is just trying to get used to this huge change you have made and alot of your bodies chemistry will change with it. Some foods that you loved before will taste different than they did before surgery. My taste buds seemed to completely change. You just have to make sure you are getting the nutrition you need and the Protein you need along with not getting dehydrated Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Keep your head up lady and ill send you positive thoughts. I had 2 loss also but i didnt have the sleeve. Im having mine on tuesday. But after those 2 loss, i had 2 sets of twins and never had to take anything. If your sisters have had miscarriages also, maybe theres something to look at. If you dont mind me asking, what kind of health problems have you had since surgery? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App A week after I was sleeved, i was having alot of trouble swallowing anything without alot of pain, they did a CT and found my esophagus was twisted(thinking it was due to pulling the breathing tube out after surgery) ..they had to place a mesh stent there for a few days and within 24 hours i became septic, my whole body started to shut down on me, had a 104.3 fever, had pancreatitis which led to my gallbladder being removed, contracted tonsilitis and mono, & my immune system has just been really bad ever since. I know this doesnt happen to everyone, i am one in very few, and have seen many many people with successful healthy lives. My family never supported my decision to have gastric sleeve done at the age of 23, but my husband has always been there and supported me. My family always asks if any problem im having is because of my surgery..and i guess they have asked me so many times because i never have an answer why these things happen, that i myself am beginning to question the same thing. Ive never found info to support that answer, which is why i came here to ask real people Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I just can't figure out why i keep having problems. Everyone keeps asking me if it could be from my surgery, since I have had nothing but problems with my health ever since i had it done. But all i can find is people having more of a chance of getting pregnant after surgery than before...all of my sisters have miscarried before and all have healthy babies...but ive miscarried my first two and only two that ive had..so its very discouraging Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I had mine removed just days after i had my sleeve. And yes be glad that you are getting it done at the same time!! Because you most likely will end up having too anyway. Very common with weight loss surgery! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I am 5 weeks post op and i have pain everyday also. Its like a stomach cramp/spasm. I think mine is caused by too many air bubbles in my stomach but not sure how to get rid of them

Anyone else having problems with major air bubbles in your stomach after eating or drinking anything?! I take nexium and gas x to help but it doesnt help and the air bubbles are so painful?! Anyone with me?

I will ask him about dexilant. I was taking prilosec twice a day and was havin major nausea so they switched me to nexium & have had very little nausea since, but those air bubbles just kill me.
