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



Recommended Posts

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

Yes this is the OP stating how far along she really was as opposed to her original speculation not her admitting that she had two separate pregnancies.

She miscarried between the time she posted yesterday at 6pm and 5am this morning?

I didn't read it that way... I guess because of my experiences with close friends that have miscarried a couple of months into their pregnancy it seemed so very quick to go through all of that (get admitted in the hospital and be back home released, rested and up arguing on the computer) that I didn't consider that as an option. But everyone is different and bounce back at different rates. That is a really sad situation :(

Oye Bio! Go to her page and view "all post by this user." They are all timed/date stamped and it shows her last activity on the 12 - barring the update today. Legitimately I'm tired of this. Again, I'm very sorry for the OP's situation. I really hope she has a speedy recovery both physically and emotionally.

Agreed. She (OP) wanted advice regarding the pregnancy so soon after surgery. Now she is not pregnant, end of story. This is not the place to impose your morals/beliefs, it is meant to share our journey in hopes it may help a fellow sleeved on his or her own journey.I'm sure there are other outlets geared to discussion of morality and beliefs regarding abortion; perhaps that would be a more appropriate place for those discussions.

On a side note, I felt that the "natural miscarriage" referred to the thought that since she was so early post op and had so much nausea and vomiting that there would be no way her body could sustain the pregnancy, not as something she did intentionally to terminate the pregnancy.

Why don't we all leave this be and concentrate on all that we have to be thankful for.

Are you saying going on IV ...I don't understand.

I already has terrible acid reflux that have gotten under control. I am soooo sick. I don't think I would be healthy at all.

I was exactly one year out when I got pregnant & it was hard I lost 50lbs my first trimester but gained 35lbs by my 9the month, my acid reflux was horrible before pregnancy & got worse with pregnancy prilosec became my best friend 10 to 12 times a day, my baby was born healthy all except for low blood sugar due to the fact I was hyperglycemic & didn't know it my whole pregnancy which happens to be a common thing after vsg. If I can answer any questions for you please feel free to ask. Good luck to you.

To be honest...I am just reading this...and my mother should not have had me. I am glad to be alive, but my childhood was a hot mess and fortunately my DNA has survivor instincts. I might be pregnant right now. I am not sure I am ready to be a mom. I am 50/50 with it. Days I want a baby...days I don't. Not sure if that is a great way to bring a child into this world, but it was unexpected so I am not really sure what I feel...but abortion saves lives. I think it is wrong to bring a child into this world when you can not take care of a child. I think that outweighs the decision to abort. I was dead for 19 years of my life and it took about 8 to bring me back to life. If you are not ready to have a baby...then don't have it. Adoption, abortion, whatever you decide to do it is your right.

...but abortion saves lives.

That's the most rediculous statement I have every seen. What kind of warped sense of morality do you have? There are thousands of couples that cry and pray together every day because they can't have children and are waiting to adopt and love a child.

I am sorry I guess I don't understand... Are you say you would rather your mom aborted you so you would never had a chance to live? I hope you find healing with your past... Thankfully as we grow we can find our way out of those situations a create our own happiness :)

I agree with this user. I don't think abortion is the answer. I think adoption is a great choice for women who find themselves unable to take care of a baby.

My personal experience, I was adopted at birth because my biological parents were 15-16 years old when I was conceived and I love them for making that decision even though my maternal grandmother tried to talk my mother into aborting me.

Thanks to their gift, I grew up with two wonderful parents who loved me unconditionally and didn't even tell me I was adopted until I was 20 years old and only because my birth mother had asked if she could meet me. As an adult I have a good friendship with both of my biological parents and hold no ill will.

It is a very selfless act for a 16 year old girl to carry a baby she isn't keeping to term when other girls that age make fun of her. When I look at my daughters I am even more thankful she spared my life because I don't think the world would be such a wonderful place without these two souls.

My close friends have tried for 10 years to have a child and because of how expensive it is to adopt they haven't been able to afford it since he is a Marine and she is a school teacher in Virginia. They would love to adopt any unwanted children so please send me a message if you consider giving your child up for adoption rather than abortion.

The number of varied posts and the original post with UNCLEAR history and dates highlight why this is NOT the proper forum for this serious discussion... This is a weight loss site. . This really is a pro choice/ pro life discussion. Talk to your doctors, counseling centers, close friends... Did you really expect different responses from members, essentially strangers of unknown religions and values of this site ?

I assume You posted as a grown woman. You have to be able to Take the responses as a grown woman. Take care of yourself.

      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. 💜

      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. 💗

        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. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
