Congrats! I have no personal testimony to offer but I will share what the bariatric nurse practitioner told us all at pre-op bootcamp: while they don't advise pregnancy before reaching your goal weight, they have had several patients who got pregnant well before that, some as early as 2 months post-op, and they have never had a mom or baby end up with complications or problems.She said that a growing fetus requires only 300 calories per day on top of mom's intake to sustain herself, and it is perfectly healthy to continue weight loss during pregnancy as long as you consult with the surgeons and your ob-gyn to determine the precise number of calories you need and you are willing to commit to being careful to get those calories in but not more. She said some women use pregnancy as an excuse to start eating whatever they want and that derails their weight and they never get to goal, but they have healthy babies regardless.
All that said . . . it is third hand info from my nurse practitioner, definitely check in with your own care team. Good luck!

Being a guy, I can't actually offer a testimony, but congratulations on your pregnancy. It may not be easy, but I am here to tell you that once that baby pops out, it will be worth it, and it STILL won't be easy. We had three daughters, and I would do it all over again. Good luck with it. I hope you and your little one do well.

Yeah speak to your surgeon and team, pregnancy isn't advised for first 18 months over here due to obvious reasons. Congrats if pregnant!

Hi, Congratulations! I'd strongly recommend talking to your surgeon's office and obstetrician ASAP, we aren't qualified enough to entrust us with your baby's health. Thats wonderful, congratulations again!
