Hi I’m a sleeve➡️bypass I’m almost 3 weeks out, I wasn’t the model patient but I have to say 💯 that this surgery was so much easier than the first, I have tolerated everything so far very well (almost too well it worried me bc I had almost no constriction) feeling hopeful! My post-op appointment is on 11/9/21. The weight loss has
Been much slower then when I had the sleeve, but again, feeling hopeful! Has anyone heard that with this conversation, you lose weight much slower, then it all falls off? Thank you in advance!

Hello all, I was 3 months po on March 9th and today I found out I was pregnant!! I'm still trying to wrap my brain around all this.. How's everyone making out with their pregnancies so far?

I hear you, j was supposed to do mine the week of my birthday, but my boss needs me at the salon for the holidays, so the 30th it is.. I'll be out to see the ball drop (being that I'm not all drugged up and in pain) lol but am totally looking forward to it!

I would love to have a dec sleepers group!! I'm getting my sleeve done dec. 30th and couldn't be more excited!!!

Congrats. Being pregnant after surgery is supposed to be better with the sleeve than without. I envy you. I want a huge family. At least 10 kids.

No words of advice but congrats!

So I found out today that I'm pregnant, I'm so scared!! My doctor told me I'd be more fertile but I never thought.. Has anybody else have this happen to them?!? Thank you in advance!!

There's actually a sub-forum on the subject of pregnancy after sleeve, where you might be able to get a lot of great answers and advice:

Definitely be sure to talk to your nutritionist right away to find out about Vitamins and supplements and what your new nutritional requirements should be.
I was informed about the increased fertility, so my husband and I used back-up birth control the first couple months (had to use it the first couple of weeks anyway because of the antibiotic). I hope this isn't an unwelcome event for you and if it is, I hope it will eventually work out to be a blessing.

Three things that I can think of would be Iron anemia, Vitamin B12 anemia (our stomach changes may inhibit B12 absorption) or hypoglycemia from the low carb diets that we are on to varying degrees. Hopefully your labs will point you in the right direction.

I think your job has a lot to do with it three months really isn't that long and you're still recovering. Can you take a few more breaks during the day?

Congrats !! Please make sure you talk with your dietician to make sure you get the right amount of calories in for you and the baby. I don't know of anyone this has happened to. Can't understand how you become more fertile, but oh well....things happen.
Again, Congrats !!!

I had the same problem. I would read on here how people had so much energy! and think to myself something must be wrong. But there are plenty of people like us, too.
I never did get a noticeable jump in energy, because it was a gradual improvement. Then one day at about 7 or 8 months, I realized how much energy I did have. It wasn't sudden at all. I think that time coincided with a significant weight loss and a slight increase in calories. I have a theory that even though I was not hungry, and I didn't get the other physical symptoms of hunger such as shaking, I still was weak and tired to the super low calorie intake.
So that's a long winded answer to say it's normal, and you will eventually get more energy back than you had before your surgery. Just take care of yourself and be patient.

I am right there with u! Same about of time and sane job! I feel like I got ran over every day!

Have you tried wearing the compression belt thingy they have u at the hospital? That will stop the constant pulling while standing and walking. Looks like an oversized ace bandage with velcro.

Well so I'm guessing nevert lol. Yea I too was told never again should I consider it. I hear people are able to which is their choice but the carbonation can cause sleeve stretching if done over long periods of time.

Best thing to do is contact your surgeon tomorrow for clarification. As Babbs said we all follow different instructions and don't want to give you advice that may differ from your surgeons plan. This is a small hump and can be solved with a phone call

I will not miss feeling huge compared to everyone else, going to concerts (like is did last night, fleet wood Mac) and feeling uncomfortable in the seats or on a plane being worried if I'm gonna get the isle seat and if I'm hanging over to the person seat next to me... I just can't wait to feel comfortable in my own skin!!!

Well this coming week will be my 6th week out of work, today my energy level is at an all time low, my stomach hurts, (tmi) diarrhea, Migraine, and lost 11lbs in 2 days... I spoke to my surgeon and he's sending me to the ER for tests, hope all goes well thank you all for your support!

I have had a few issues with my gallbladder and have had nausea and really bad acid reflux since surgery. Got an ultrasound done and turns out I have gallstones. My surgeon is removing my gallbladder on Friday. I just don't know what to expect with the surgery. I heard its easier than the sleeve I had and its not as painful.
Anybody had it done separate? how bad was it?
