I got pregnant 3 months after revision from band to sleeve....we had been trying for several years and my doctor told me that I probably wouldn't be able to get pregnant until I lost about 100lbs. We had stopped trying I was focusing on weight loss......Anyway long story short I am having issues with low blood sugar. I have a few questions and concerns. 1. What have you all done to prevent this? I am eating about every 3 hours. Maybe I need to go to every 2? 2. I am supposed to do that sugar test next week but I honestly don't think I can go from midnight until 8am with nothing to eat....... 3. What about during labor....do they give you fluids with sugar in it? UGH so worried. Other than they low blood sugar I am feeling fine.....just nervous about all of the above. Thank you in advance.

If your doctor has any insight please share! Mine didnt seem worried about it and didn't offer any info either. It really feels like I have eaten an entire thanksgiving feast and i need to nap!!! It went away for awhile but its starting to occur again. Now I have noticed it happens more when I dont measure my food and eat things that are a little more carb dense.

are any of you tired after you eat now? It doesn't matter what I eat I seem to feel so full after like 2-3 bites and then really sleepy. Sugar isn't going up as I have checked that as a cause.

Yes definitely call them and let them know. I wish you the very best!

Congrats! Things are getting better here but I tell you what I am starving all the time! Not gaining weight yet but I feel like I am eating like a pig????????

Not on birth control but honestly we fully expected that when we were ready we were going to have to use fertility drugs. I had done 2 rounds of fertility meds with no luck several months before surgery.

So the main reason for me having the sleeve was to eventually get pregnant. We just didnt expect it so soon after the surgery. We have been trying for over 2 years and had not changed anything other than me losing weight of course. Im sure my surgeon wont be happy I go see him Friday as he told me to wait at least a year. BUT so far everything is going fine except I feel tired after I eat ANYTHING just checking to see how everyone else manages post sleeve with pregnancy. Thankfully no morning sickness!!! And I am 2 months preggo and now officially 6 months post op.

alcoholic beverages actually have started causing a stomach ache and wine is the only thing that doesn't seem to bother me.

I am 4 months post op and want to start trying as well. It was the whole reason for having the surgery. Do yall know anyone who has gotten preggo that early and do well?

Have you tried stopping the fiber? Im having an issue with diarrhea now also but I am about 3 months out and it just started after I reintroduced salad so I think that is my culprit.

Ive actually lost about 5lbs since starting it lol. I was worried about that as well but I am going to keep a close eye on it and if I stall I am going to straight to the dr. As for a log there for a few weeks I was keeping bp, pulse and glucose log and food as well. SO I have that going in case I need it but so far since starting the meds im still good!

I was started on meds as well and am feeling tons better! Even though we are required to do psych evals doesn't mean that we won't have problems. I have NEVER EVER had trouble with anxiety and I was a revision from lap band. BUT I had a cardiac complication post surgery and I think that was my trigger.

Thanks! Any ideas are appreciated. I haven't had any issues since my last post. I am on Paxil and by day 3 I really felt more calm. The worry is still there but it is a ton better. Also no more flip flopping in my chest. I should hear from the cardiologist by the end of the week regarding my stress test. They recommended me wearing a heart monitor for 30 days...that seems like a lot so we will see.

I am 2.5 months out from surgery and have started having anxiety and depression. Was started on Paxil. I have never had an issue with this ever so I am really stressing out.

Was put on Paxil. Today is day 2. Scheduled for a stress test this afternoon. Frustrated because I had an episode where I almost passed out this morning. I was putting on my make up and my heart started flip flopping in my chest. Then I saw black. Thankfully it stopped but I cant keep doing this. Not really sure why the cardiologist just didn't put me back on a beta blocker like I was on a few years ago.
