Hi everyone! I am new to this site and I'm loving it already.. So much motivation and new ideas! I am 7 months post op and down 69 pounds. Very excited about getting healthier!

I'm wondering if I'll gain a lot of weight after I decide to get prego next year? Will I still have a good amount of restriction?

Welcome!!! I have not been sleeved but I'm interested to see the responds to this question I don't have any children and I'm also planing on getting pregnant after surgery.

Welcome to this site you'll definitely find it informative. I had surgery on May 1st, and would love to know how has it been for you. Congratulations on the weight you have lost. As for your question sorry that I can't be of assistance. I don't have any kids and not sure if I want any

Well, there is a whole forum on here dedicated to Pregnancy. Thankfully, the uterus and stomach are two sepatate organs, so one should not affect the other. You will have to pay more attention to your nutrition, for sure, and eat more often to get your calories up, but that is because of the restriction.

Search the site (upper right hand corner of page) for the topic stretch. It is a much belabored topic. At some point, everybody wonders if they are going to stretch their stomach. Short answer ... yes, it will stretch a bit, but not much at all in the grand scheme of things.

Tiffykins posted a lot on her pregnancy last year. Search for her (using same search box, opting for members in the dropdown) and check out her posts.

Thats a perfect question you posted as i too have Not had kids yet and was wondering if my sleeve would affect pregnancy

I've heard of a few people in my area that have been sleeved then had children. From what I hear the majority of them only gained 15-20lbs and was able to lose it quickly. But you do have to watch the nutrition. I am a year out and will be looking into kids soon so we shall see.

Thank you so much for the info! It is all very helpful. So where is everyone at with weight loss? I am 7 months post op and 69 down... Sometimes I think I'm looking a lot slower then I'm supposed to.

I mean loosing a lot slower

This is so encouraging! Congrats to you for losing so much weight! It doesn't seem slow to me at all! I am still pre-sleeve and 26 (almost 27 years old). A big reason I am having the surgery is so I can be healthy enough to get pregnant. I currently have moderate HBP and take meds to keep it under control. I know many people who only gained 20 lbs with each pregnancy, and it came off in a snap. You will do great! Good luck to you! Erika

Thanks everyone!! Getting prego after I am at a stable weight is so important to me! Thanks for the support!
