Sleeved after having baby



Recommended Posts

So I am having my second c section in march (first was an emergency).

My surgeon said I would be ok to get the sleeve in June.

Has anyone else been sleeved so close after having a baby!

I did 7 weeks after my csection! You should be fine 3 months out.

None. My husband works nights so I was on my own. It was hard but doable. Just find ways to limit lifting your kids for a couple of weeks. I would feed my little one while he was laying in his boppy pillow. Or I'd put pillows under my arms when I held him.

I was just sleeved last week and I have a six month old and a two year old. I was actually cleared for surgery as long as I wasn't breast feeing at 6 weeks post c-section. We decided to wait until after January so my husband would have more vacation time. He and my mom have been taking care of me because I really have needed the help. I've had a hard time bending and I'm not allowed to lift either boy. Two year old is 30 lbs and the baby is 17lbs. It's really rough but I know I'll be a much better mommy in the long run.

      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.
