  1. Hi everyone,

    I am pregnant after having vsg on June of last year. I am happy but also very nervous. Any of you like to share your experience with pregnancy after vsg. I just feel like this will be totally different from my last pregnancy because I am older and I now have the sleeve.

    Also I hear a lot of people saying that we’re told not to get pregnant until about 12 to 18 months post op. So I want comments from those who got pregnant sooner than that time frame as well.

    Thanks in advance!

    So sorry to hear this. I, too, had big issues with nausea and vomiting for weeks. I am still more sensitive than most people, I think, at two months out.

    My surgeon had me take two different anti-nausea medicines, every three hours around the clock. I did this for a week. I also took Pepcid for about six weeks. I had a swallow X-ray test to rule out a stricture. I learned that Protein Shakes and some pills were triggers for me. (A food/medicine journal helped with this)


    Now, I don’t vomit most days, and most of the nausea is gone, unless I break a rule like eating too fast, or drinking and eating too close together. When I do vomit, I take it very easy for two days and then my pouch is better. I have also found it’s easier to drink more at a time, the more that time goes by.

    Hang in there, it is tough, and not everybody suffers from this. I have found it gets better!

    Thanks for the advice! I’m happy to hear that things do get better. Was starting to think I made a mistake. I don’t really vomit but I do feel a bit nauseous and also get nervous while drinking. I’m afraid if I drink to much I’ll get too full.

    actually, that's more the norm. I think it seems like most people have nausea, can't eat, etc because people who experience that are looking for advice or support, so they're more apt to post. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but I think it kind of skews people's perceptions - they think it happens to a majority of us, when it actually doesn't..

    Thanks for responding and not replying to my question 🙄

    It varies for everyone but I had to buy Crystal Light, Syntrax Nectar, and Isopure to get my Water in the first few days. You’ll turn an immediate corner very soon! Hopefully your doc can prescribe some anti-nausea medicine. Congrats on the surgery!

    Thanks for the advice I’m hoping that it gets better sooner than later.
