Getting Pregant After having the Sleeve done...



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I'm new on here and I am planning on having my surgery in February. I have a 2 yr old daughter and plan for another child in the future. Have any of you women been pregnant since your surgery? Was there any complications? Did you gain a lot of weight? Im curious to know.... :mellow:

Thanks,

Adrienne

I am also curious to know, we plan on trying in a year or so. I am one month out. My doctor has had many sleeve patients get pregnant and have a successful pregnancy.

There is a woman who is a mentor to a lot of people on this forum - her screen name is Tiffykins. She has lost and maintained her weight, and is now about mid-way into her pregnancy. She has done a lot of research on pregnancy and VSG,. She would be a great resource for you to correspond with. You could find her and send her a private message, if she doesn't happen to see your post.

If you browse Tiffykins' posts you'll find lots of pregnancy-related info. My surgeon recommends waiting at least 18 months post-op before getting pregant.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
