I Was Sleeved In May And Just Found Out I Am Pregnant



Recommended Posts

I am really confused by all of this... Please see a doctor do NOT do anything that you THINK will cause a "natural miscarriage" As Iggychic said the only natural miscarriage is one that happens without any intervention by you. While I would never consider abortion for myself, if you truely feel like you can not go through a pregnancy then please consider this. If you feel like you can get through the pregnancy but are not in a position to raise a child then please consider adoption.

I am 3 mps post op and 10 wks pregnant. I did not plan this pregnancy either. In fact I had an IUD in an still got pregnant. I also am having all day sickness and severe acid reflux. My Dr prescribed me zofran for my sickness but it doesn't help much. I believe in Gods plan and I believe that if you are suppose to have this baby you will. It wasn't a mistake becoming pregnant. I am staying optimistic and praying the sickness ends soon. I was sick with my other two until 14 wks with both. Stay strong!

Based on when I had sex...it could only be 2weeks.

Do you even know if you ARE pregnant? Has a doctor checked you? I have to give my opinion...but I too believe in God's plan and murdering a child because you have acid reflux and morning sickness (both COMPLETELY NORMAL even without a sleeve) is the most selfish act I can imagine. At my fattest I carried 2 girls and was sick for all 9 months not able to eat meat at all throwing up every 15-30 minutes with high blood pressure and medicated heart burn plus max tums and nearly died giving birth BUT i would do it over a hundred more times because they make life worth living. It was after they turned 3 that I got sleeved so that I could spend even more years on earth healthy loving them. I cant imagine willingly flushing their entire lives ...a million smiles...down the drain over morning sickness and heartburn....

No Judgement there....Thanks. So glad u can endure all that... its amazing that one person has a heart attack and dies and the next has one and lives another 50years.... Be careful when u judge someones life u check ur personal life.... and ur ruler

BTW.... I just got out of the hospital I was nine weeks and miscarried. Something about not every body being the same... put me on TPN... couldn't eat for so long...well that don't matter... Ms super strong throwing up every 15min ... I guess my body couldn't handle it.

You didnt mention this was at least the second time you've gotten unwanted pregnant since you were sleeved... ... ...

When I read your post you said you had heartburn and morning sickness therefore you wanted a "natural miscarrage" so you didnt have to put up with it which another person said could leave the baby brain damaged and/or deformed. That is what I called selfish earlier and if you cant understand where I am coming from or that what I said about my experience was not even about what I lived through but what a baby is worth then I'm not speaking the same language as you. To use your metaphor...100 heart attacks outcome unknown are worth the lives of my daughters if that makes more sense to you.

If you feel judged or mad by my opinion I am sorry as that was not my intent. I will not post again on your thread. Also know that there is a safe chemo patient drug pregnant people can take to stop nausia that has FDA approval. If you dont try to get rid of the baby your obgyn can tell you more about it. Good luck!

I don't believe I read anywhere on this thread that this was a second unwanted pregnancy. I think the OP was/is clearly going through crisis and there is no need for harsh words or hateful accusations. You say that your intent was not to make the OP feel judged but I have the distinct impression that those words are a hollow apology based on the context it was written in. Kindness and dignity gets us far more in life BioChick.

This forum is supposed to be a place where we can lean on each other. Obviously with so many people coming from widely varied demographics there are bound to be differing beliefs - even people we don't like. My suggestion is that if it doesn't pertain to you, if it isn't constructive, if you will do more harm than good - gracefully bow out.

This sounds like a tough and heart breaking situation,regardless of belief systems; let's have some empathy.

I hope that you recover quickly and I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like you have had a rough few weeks.

Haha she just said she was sleeved in May was pregnant 9 weeks ago and is pregant again. 1+1=2.

I know its easier for you to get on a high horse yelling at me for not agreeing that self induced miscarrage is not the right thing to do but someone has to speek up for the innocent unborn child and if that makes you hate me then I accept your hateful judgement of me with a smile on my face knowing that my heart is in the right place. God Bless You and HAPPY THANKSGIVING ♥♡♡♡♥

OP: keep your head up. This is your journey and no one else's. Of course there are going to be very strong opinions regarding the choice to terminate a pregnancy (not sure that was even what you were referring to). I'm sorry that you are going through this and wish you the best.

I just read through the entire thread and see no such quote from loveisbeauty. I'm not yelling, nor am I being hateful. I do see a quote where she references her other 2 pregnancies *pre surgery*

If you could give a direct quote - not a paraphrase- I could participate in this dialogue much better.

I dont think PP was being judgemental. She was merely giving a personal opinion. I too have the same beliefs and it is AWESOME to know that someone will speak out and not be backed in a corner because their beliefs differ. In my opinion it was being supportive,just not what you all wanted to hear. I have a daughter who make rash decisions all the time and she tells me that she is so thankful that I tell her like it is because it helps her see the other side. That is the problem with our world today, "bowing out gracefully" and not standing up for what is right. All for the sake of not wanting to offend someone. Sometimes the truth hurts.Good for you BIOCHICK!

I think it is important to imagine the context that the OP wrote this in. I would have felt panicked, overwhelmed, and upset. I would have been seeking help and understanding. I would not have wanted someone comparing their awful pregnancy to mine in an " if I can do it so can you so suck it up" manner. There are many ways to prove your point. The OP is simply human and deserves that compassion. Your argument about the humanity of the fetus comes second to that. I'm saying choose an appropriate manner to convey your thoughts or step off. That's all.

It is the one she posted at ~5am right after she said "BTW... "

The way I read that was that she was 9 weeks in to a pregnancy not 2 weeks like she thought. Anyways what's done is done. She asked for support and advice and has gotten that from many different viewpoints. Instead of attacking the OP or other's actions and ideas, let's use our time to be thankful for what we have.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
