Has Anyone Gotten Pregnant After Sleeve

I also have PCOS and I have 4 kids. My last one I was 293 when I found out I was pregnant so obese women CAN have a "normal" pregnancy.

What a blessing four angels. I can't wait til God blesses me with one angel. Did you have any complications during pregnancy? One doc told me being over weight would cause complications. It acted like I have was 300 lbs. Im just 233 now, I lost a little weight.

First of all I will tell you I was told I would never have kids naturally. I have never been under 200 with all four pregnancies. The highest was 293 and the lowest was 230. I was told not to gain more than 15# and I didn't. I didn't have any problems, I didn't even have diabetes.

I agree 100%. Grant it, I had surgery to avoid setting myself and the baby up for possible complications and pre-disposing the baby to being obese as studies are now showing obese mothers have a higher incidence of obese children.

The main reason doctors advise patients to wait an XX amount of months post-op is because it gives the body to stabilize at a specific weight, BUT there are hundreds of women who get pregnant before even 1 year post-op and have perfectly healthy, full term babies.

A blessing. I got 2 share your story with my husband. I had 2 miscarriages. The first one I was four months. The last on was March of this year. I was in a bad car accident and a lady hit me from behind. Idk I was pregnant . I found out at the hospital they gave me a pregnancy test before x-ray. The doctor said your pregnant. I said not me lol. He said yes. A week later I lost the baby. The trauma of the accident. Im going 2 keep hope alive

I use birth control and jimmy hats for protection. I thought I could not get pregnant without using clomid and it happen with out it the second time. My doctor said the same thing. He said we could have miscarriages if we have a baby before 12months. I tell u, I plan on preventing a baby right now. A miscarriage is the hardest thing beside losing my mom I had 2 go through. The mental and physical pain for me was no joke. I would have dreams my baby was handicap. Because this dumb doctor told me I could have had a special needs kid. That's not true. I have a good ob now. He is caring.
