AmazonLindsie got a reaction from Bianca S. in LADIES ONLY PLEASE!Started my period the NIGHT BEFORE surgery (totally lucky). Lasted for 6 days (normal) but then a few days after I was done, I had spotting for 4 days after. LOTS of hormones and chemical changes. To be expected.

AmazonLindsie got a reaction from halfsnack in Incision CareHey everybody. Just found and joined this forum tonight (Awesome Group??). I'm curious to know how you handled your incisions. I had my surgery 8/19/19 and my surgeon used this blue-colored "second skin" bandage on top of the stitches. It's starting to peel off (more like flake off) and I don't want them to come off too soon, because moisture helps tremendously with healing. What have you all done for yours?

AmazonLindsie got a reaction from Bianca S. in Incision CareYes! Like crazy. It's most likely just the skin healing, though

AmazonLindsie reacted to allwet in Post op 8/15 newbie intro and grhelin ?would you believe that you have cleared the carb/sugar addiction and your body has fat adapted and switched to burning fat for fuel instead of expecting a new dose of sugar/carbs every 3 hrs as before.

Hey everyone!! I had the sleeve done in June of 2018. I lost almost 60 lbs. My start weight at point of surgery was approx. 200 and I got down to 143 within 4 months after surgery. I then got pregnant and successfully delivered my baby boy on August 1, 2019. On day of delivery I weighed 174. Since delivery I’m down to 147 and it hasn’t been a month yet. The sleeve worked during pregnancy and even now. I monitored my weight and continued to eat good while pregnant. But mostly I’m never hungry.
I said all this to say that it is possible to be pregnant within the first year of getting the sleeve surgery and maintain your weight. Just monitor everything and remember to be as healthy as you can!
Below are pictures of before pregnancy at 143, me at 9 months and me today at 147!!!
FYI: I had a csection so I’m sure I still have inflammation.
