I’m glad to be back in here too. My vsg was on 5/25/2016. I got pregnant and had my daughter 8/14/17. I love my baby but it really messed up my sleeve and as of a couple weeks ago I’m almost back to my surgery weight. I went back to basics and have lost down to 189. (I was 200 on surgery day). Who couldn’t use the prayer of brothers and sisters in Christ!

Is the fb group still around for May 2016 vsg folks?

So my baby will be delivered on Monday via csec due to things that don't have anything to do with my sleeve. My question is, what will they use for pain control since we can't have nsaids (ibuprofen type meds)? Usually they have you on strong meds for a week then put you on ibuprofen. Anyone have experience?

If it's a secret group I would

I'm 43. 7 months post-op. I'm prolife, which I discussed with my surgeon, so I won't use anything that's back-up abortive (birth control pills, iud). We were using condoms despite the fact that they cause me irritation. Also, 3 years ago one of my twin sons died at birth and since then my cycles have been outrageous. I use depends diapers and stay on the couch for about 3 days a month, then have a mild period again in two weeks. So, my prolife dr told me that it is safe to be pg after sleeve. That we are way more health conscious than a teen and there are ways to help nutrition such as what they do for ppl with hyperemesis gravida (excessive vomiting during pregnancy). So we stopped with the condoms and I just found out I'm pregnant. I'm not too worried about baby because I know they will monitor me. I am worried about calling my surgeon and being treated like like a naughty teenager. Any advice? Did they do that to you?

At least we know we aren't alone, we can sympathize with each other!

We knew it was a slip possibility so I started the preop diet last Saturday. I won't complete it but I've been super careful to follow it to a T. Thankfully he got coverage at work! Yay!!

Just got word today that I'm the 25 th too! This is day 7 of my 2 week diet. I'm ready for this part to be over for sure! Do either of you have small children? I am a stay at home mom with no babysitter options. Not sure how I'm going to keep my 2 year old off of me when I get home?

May 25th!!

Oh my stars! After crazy ins messes and a nurse strike they are changing my surgery date to this Wednesday! I'm so excited! It seems unreal and there are so many details to work out. Like my hubby finding work coverage since he needs to be with the kids. But I trust all of that to God and I just can't wait for the beginning!

I am on day 2. Feeding the kids and smelling their yummy food is the hardest. I have a peach of a hubby who did all the work and let me be away from them but still it was hard. Also hard that i need to do this in case of an ins change again meaning that my surgeon will do it before the end of May...or I have to do this again in June for a scheduled vsg June 30th. I'm very thankful for my ins and hope it doesn't change again.

I'm scheduled for June 30 but because of a possible ins change I might be sleeved in May! This is day 2 of the 2 week liquid diet for me...that may not even be used. It's hard with no sure surgical outcome knowing that I might have to do it again next month.

So encouraging! Thank you!!

Yay! I got approved!!!

You can do that t! Stay strong!
