Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I had the sleeve done aug 04, 2011 and today I find out I'm Prego. I've lost 101 lbs. now I'm worried that I'll gain!!!! Has anyone gain with pregnancy if so how much. I'm paranoid about weight gain. I still have a good 30 lbs to lose though. Yikes. #happy

I had my baby with my lapband, so no pregnancy with sleeve (nor do I plan to). I know it has been done, and I know it's considered one of the better WLSs for people planning to have kids. Just make sure your OB understands your needs, and that your surgeon understands you're pregnant.

Absolutely! Your nutrition is so important now! Get on vitamins ASAP - get in your essential amino's and start drinking a protien drink again - and get to your doc right away.

Thank u! Honestly, the sleeve is not as bad as u imagine. To me it's thr only difference I eat smaller portions but I am still able to eat my favorite foods just with control.

A woman in my local support group lost 200 lbs, had a baby, and was back to pre-pregnancy weight within weeks of giving birth. The baby is happy and healthy (and terribly cute). I don't think she gained much more weight than there was baby and fluids. Blessings to you and your new being.

Is Tiffykins still around? She would be the one to ask about pregnancy. She is the "fount of knowledge!" BTW, I miss you, Tiffykins!! Update us, Girlfriend!

Congrats on being pregnant!! At this point in time I would focus on the baby. You ARE going to gain weight, but it is the right type of weight! Also, you shouldn't panic because your sleeve will still be there AFTER your pregnancy! You'll be able to re-focus on weight loss. And if you breastfeed? BONUS calories incinerator right there!

Relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Make the right choices for your baby and stay calm knowing your sleeve is going to take care of you after!

And look for tiffykins... seriously.
