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!

Ladies how are your results? I am down 110 pounds I am currently 8 months pregnant so I gained about ten pounds.

I’m going 6/16/22 for rny and hiatal hernia repair

Hello,
Just had the sleeve done my Dr C with EOC on the 11th of July 2022.

I’m getting my surgery 10/10/22 Bypass 💙

(2018) I was around 211 when I got pregnant and delivered at 240. I still had elevated blood pressure throughout my pregnancy. I also did have gestional diabetes so I was induced at 37 weeks & 3days. With my second(2020) I was 220 when I got pregnant and delivered at 240 again. He is now 14 months and I'm 139lbs. So it did take me a lot longer to loose the weight, but I was only 22 when I got the surgery. I don't regret taking longer to loose the weight.

I also have not been nauseous, AT ALL, I have not found a food I ‘can’t tolerate’, BUT I don’t ‘try crazy different foods’, I stick with what works for my schedule and routine. I know we are supposed to ‘switch it up’ so we don’t get bored. That’s NOT me, I’m boring, Protein Shake for Breakfast, tuna n cheese stick for lunch. Supper ‘varied’, usually chicken breast, and a carb smart ice cream for my ‘sweet’!

How is everyone doing??
My surgery was on June 17. I am down 45 lbs.
Went from a size 2xl to Medium
Pant size 20 to 14-16
I'm so happy with my results so far !

Hi Crystalmoon,
I just sent you a private message. Looks like we are in a similar boat. Also found out I was pregnant at the 8 month mark. It looks like we have very similar stats too and Im also an educator! Weird! I'd love an update on how everything is going with you. Check out my pregnancy post.

Hope to hear from you soon!

There are people who have posted that they got pregnant on here but I don’t think many stuck around cause I never really heard anymore from them. First off, congratulations. I would contact my team and let them know I was pregnant and speak frequently with the nutritionist to make sure you are eating the right things for you and baby.

Sorry typo! Congratulations!

ive seen people on here get pregnant just a few weeks after surgery. If you use the search bar and type in pregnant you can probably find those post and speak with those that did get pregnant.

Congrats!!! this is my ultimate goal, so I love reading the stories. I wish you the best and a healthy pregnancy with healthy babe to follow!

My Surgery date is 2/3/22. I am getting sleeved in Mexico. Pre-op diet starts in about 3 weeks.

Who else is having WLS next month?

I am going for surgery March 2nd!

Yep, it's likely related to your VSG. Your hormones go crazy afterwards. You can also expect weird periods (timing, duration, flow etc). I think the hormones do calm down. I'm three years out and my skin is back to normal. I find that taking my bariatric Vitamins helps my skin, as well as drinking a lot of Water. Right after my WLS, it was like being a teenager again. I promise it won't last forever!

Hello All,
Please look at the flyers attached. Frederica is looking for people who are dealing with excess skin from weight loss, specifically women. She intends to gather feedback and information on the experiences women deal with. The goal is the develop well suited undergarments intended to address the needs and wants of women who live with excess skin .If you are interested, feel free to reach out. I am 8 months post op from a gastric sleeve. So far, I am 77lbs down. I have noticed loose skin around my thighs and arms. The skin around my chest is also starting to look saggy. Even though the flyer says 100+ weight loss, any female experiencing noticeable loose skin can reach out. Thank you!

I dropped into the 100's this week. I'd been looking forward to it for so long that it almost seemed unreal that there was no trumpet fanfare when it happened 📯. I haven't shared it with anyone and am savoring it. The last time I remember being this weight for certain was just around high school graduation. But just so my ego didn't get too big, surgery kicked in the next and gave me foamies and pain when I didn't eat slowly enough. That hasn't happened in a long time. I think it was a poetic-justice reminder.
On a slightly less exciting note, "the girls" have dropped to a size I don't recall since early high school . I've always been well-endowed, even before being morbidly obese, so it is quite a change. I have broken down and purchased some new clothes. I realized for myself, despite being told, that I look terrible in all my too-big clothing. I think it was a security blanket of sorts. For so long, nothing was ever too big or too loose. I still hate shopping. I have no idea what size I need from what store.
I asked the doctor in my program for a suggestion for a therapist. I couldn't get an appointment until February. But I was able to get into a cancellation next week. I'm excited as I had some very specific criteria for a therapist, experience with bariatric patients was only one. I'm looking forward to having someone to process changes with as well as the road ahead. I again want to thank all of you on this board for the ongoing advice and support. I'm grateful for having found you. I belong to a few FB groups and am astounded by the misinformation and lack of preparation/education that is out there.
That's all ❤️

Me too 5/29

Me too! I had mini gastric bypass 5/5 this year!

I hit the next goal!

Down 101 lbs. 5 months post sleeve, 1 week post Gall Bladder removal ( Cholecystectomy).

HW 264
SW 235
CW 163
GW 130-145

It's crazy that some states require a weight for the driver's license. I've had a license in 3 states - PA, FL, and MA, and none required me to put a weight. Anyway, Congrats!
