Hi! This is my first post here, but I was initiating the process of getting the VSG surgery and before I started any pre-op work I realized I was pregnant. I was trying to prevent it and God must have had other plans. (Being that my daughter is 13 months old!) anyhow, my question is- how long after I have this baby can I have the surgery? I plan to breastfeed. Will I have to re-start my 6 month pre-op diet? It's a little glitch in plans, although we feel blessed! Anyone with any insight would be helpful!

Thanks! It's getting easier to accept. I'm passed the whole shocked aspect. I gained 45 pounds with my last pregnancy and wasn't thin to start with :/ hoping to keep this round under control!

Happy you are happy about your upcoming NEWBIE
OMG you'll have 2 kids in diapers
better you than me
i'm "pretty" sure you will have to do another 6 month for insurance
as with everything else, docs are all different on certain instructions
i've heard some people say they had to wait 2 years before they are "supposed" to get preggo
other docs might say sooner
check with your doc - as with everything else, you should always listen to YOUR surgeon
there is a thread here for "preggo's called
Pregnancy with Gastric Sleeve Surgery
check it out
what a way to start the new year
good luck with he/she

congrats

Congratulations! I'm not sure how long you'd have to wait, but if your insurance is anything like mine, you'll probably have to start your 6 months over again.
