I spoke to my doctor about in the future wanting to have more kids and they said that it would not be a problem at all. They suggest waiting 12-18 months post-op to conceive so that i give myself time to heal. Any pregnancy stories post-op? I would love to know that it is going to be safe...i am only 23yrs old and i am no way near done having lil ones. I do trust my doctor after all he is a TopDoc for bariatric surgery but i want to hear success stories to ease my anxiety about it.

There is actually a group on here that you may want to check out that is specifically for that topic. Go to forum--then forums home and scroll down a couple of pages. The Forum is Pregnancy with......

Best of luck to you too...I'm not sure about more babies. The pregancies wore me out! But I will take my blessings should they come...I plan to remove the Mirena 2 years post-op. My hubby hates the idea of a foreign ojbect in me...nothing I could do...he's got a sure shot, so I had to try something.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
