Im 10 months post op and 7 months pregnant. Besides the slow down of the weight loss process you can expect the pregnancy symptons which can be confused with the symptons of the surgery.

Yeah, im having a girl.

If your not using myfitnesspal by now you should. It takes a lot of planning for me to make it pass 1k per day. Being pregnant helps because i have all kinds of silly cravings, but im still limited of the amount of food i can intake.

My surgeon wasnt that worried about me pregnant. The main problem that i cant seem to kick is diabetes. Im not on medication but my OB has practically denied me of everything that i can eat. I actually gain 6lbs because i was snacking excessively to maintain my blood sugar. I decided that as long as the baby is healthy and growing i will maintain my calorie intake of 1500 per day. I lost five pounds shortly after. My OB has never had to deal with a paitient like me and i think she overexagerates my situation. My labs are great, my blood pressure is great, my cholestrol is great. The only problem is after i eat my blood sugar rise. Im thinking of finding another DR.

Congrats!. Im confident too that i will be back on track as soon as my baby is born

I know what you mean. I found out i was pregnant when i went for my check up to get on birth control.

Wow! Are you still losing weight?

No. I have a son who is 8 years old.

Thank you! My starting weight was 375, me and my husband have been trying to have a child for 4 years. I wasnt expecting to get pregnant this soon! Im still making progress and once this is over im confident my goal weight will be reached.

What in the world did i get myself into?! I found out i was pregnant 5months after my surgery. I wasnt too happy about it. I was just starting to enjoy my life again and then BOOM! I can honestly say I tried everything to avoid this happening. In November and December me and my husband we're going at it like rabbits. I was warned that this would happen. But I was having too much fun. The good thing was at continue to lose weight all the way until about 2 weeks ago. Then within a week I gained 6 pounds. I was flabbergasted. So I started that on my Fitness Pal to watch what I was eating. I lost 5 pounds in a week. I have not done any major exercising 6th February. I am constantly exhausted. And now my blood sugar is a concern again for my doctors. They want me to concentrate on keeping my blood sugar levels rather then concentrate on losing weight. I'm frustrated and annoyed. But my baby is fine a growing very well. As the god that I only have 3 more months to go. Because I'm ready to move on and am reach my goal weight. I am now 251 and my goal weight is 200. If I wasn't pregnant I would have been in 200 a long time ago. I'm still maintaining and still feel good about myself here's a pic from last Saturday. [ATTACH]3662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]3661[/ATTACH]

My friend did her sleeve with Dr. Bass. He is great! She had private insurance. Medipass only pays for gastric bypass.

The process was fast. It took about 3 month from start to finish.

I am 6 months post op. Although i didnt make it to the 400 mark i was pretty close. At my heaviest i was 376 today i am 265. I lost over 100lbs. Im very proud of what i have accomplished so far and i know i will continue looseing. As long as you are eating right, working out, you will loose the weight. I try not to think about the numbers on the scale because it makes you obsessed. Its amazing how quickly i lost 100 lbs, because i weigh myself once a month and i did not notice the rapid weight loss. My advice to everyone on here is to not concentrate on the scale as much, manage what you eat, excerise, live your life, try new activities, become more active and before you know it you will accomplish your goal weight.

Lookibg great!

I love reading stories likw this. It inspires me. Congrats

Thanks everyone

Omg! Im having this same issue. I few years younger than you and since the weightloss, me and my husband has been going at it like rabbits.

Please add me to my fitness pal. RIM1YOLD:-). I need all the encouragement i can get.

I took a pic with a group of friends, when i saw the pic i realized that i wasnt the biggest person in the pic. Yeah me 105lbs down in 5 months:-)

I had my surgery on 8/8/12. My starting weight was 376, and i was diagnosed with all the extra fixings. Diabetes, high cholestrol, high blood pressure, thyroid issues and more. My surgery was really smooth, i had one complication three weeks after a spent a week in the hospital. Ive been good since then. As of my last weigh in on Friday i am done to 271! I feel great! My energy level is up, my confidence is through the roof. Unfortunately b4 my surgery i did not know about thos forum, i went in to this blind. I did not know anyone else who went through this and i did i did not know what expect. The only i regret is not doing this sooner. Don't worry the whole process is not as complicated as it seems. Just be on top of what ur surgeon request of you and you will be ok.

I wouldnt it. Because u are basically good to go.

I have not heard as of yet any being denied by medicaid. Check your medicaid plan, find out which plan ur Dr. accept and make sure. Each medicaid plan has there own requirements. When i went to my seminar , i was advised to switch to the medipass plan because they move fast.
