Congrats!! I found there is a forum on this site for this. Check it out. From what I was told it is ok. Your baby will be ok. Don't be afraid. Contact your Ob/Gyn.

I'm sure it will be fine. Just get some good advice early. Congrats!

You'll need to work closely with your doctor, obstetrician, and surgeon's office (bariatric coordinator/nutritionist). Of primary importance will be getting your (and the baby's) nutritional needs met, even though you've been sleeved. I would get in touch with them right away.

I was told not to even think of getting pregnant for 2 years after surgery

that's what "they" say HOWEVER my doctor said it impossible because you become so fertile after surgery. My co-worker had the bypass done and was pregnant and she didn't even know it. They baby was fine. You will just have to be careful as to what you are intaking in your body.

Sara, first off every thing is going to be ok.

Yes it is true that it is best to wait at least a year, preferably 2 after being sleeved to conceive, but you can't change that now.

This is going to be a bit trickier than a traditional pregnancy, but you will be just fine, and so will your baby.

As was pointed out earlier you will need to keep your Obstatrition, Bariatric, and PCP in a close loop. I highly advise including your NUT in that loop. Everybody needs to be on the same page.

I highly recommend seeing a naturalist too, someone that has a lot of experience in cramming tons of nutrients into minimal foods & supplements. I'm sure you are going to be taking some awfull tasting stuff (like blackstrap molasses), but you gotta do what you gotta do now.

I promise you are not the first one this has happened to & you won't be the last. I'd also recommend journaling this experience so that once it is over you'll have it documented when the next person comes along & they're scared about what's to come.

Am I misunderstanding your post OP? You are pregnant two months past surgery or you had the surgery while pregnant and am now 3 months? If you were pregnant when you had the surgery you need to get into an OBGYN ASAP because the anesthesia can damage a fetus badly. I lost a baby that way (I was 12 days pregnant, too early to test even for a hospital). If I'm reading that wrong and you got pregnant after the surgery you still need to get in asap because early out, in the most important time for fetal development you were not giving the fetus proper nutrition. This does not mean it's a tragedy, but you need to check to see if everything is ok (I am sorry but I don't know if it is or not so I'm not going to lie to you about that). Your OBGYN will then help you through this pregnancy so that it's healthy for the fetus. You need to be doing some calorie supplements likely right away because you are too early in to eat properly for a developing baby.

I hope everything is well with you, but you really do need to understand that either way, it's rather urgent that you get to a doctor now.

I had surgery when I was pregnant, didn't know I was pregnant. My 27 year old daughter was born perfect. Take a deep breath, you'll be fine and so will your baby. Your obgyn will be able to help you make a game plan.

I am currently seven months pregnant and I was pregnant when I had the surgery but I did not know. The baby is fine, I look smaller, but the baby is on target with weight and growth. You and your baby will be fine. You will probably continue to loose weight for the next few months, then you will gain a little baby weight for the baby. I lost 25lbs, and have only gained seven back. Spoke to my surgeon and he said I should be fine. They recommend no pregnancy for 2 years post sleeve because they want us to get the maximum weight loss goal, but things happen and we keep living. You will be fine, take your Vitamins, exercise and drink plenty of fluids. Keep up with your doctors and rest. We will get thru it. :)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
