Disappointed my patient advocate told me that sleeve patients have babies with low birth weight...and i am still wanting another baby and a sleeve ...what's your experience

I haven't heard this at all about the sleeve. My baby is measuring larger than either of my previous, non-sleeve pregnancies. I do know this is an issue with bypass, but that has more to do with Vitamin malabsorption from what I understand.

Perhaps someone that has already delivered will chime in here, but I've been treated as if I have a totally normal pregnancy. My stateside OB did ask me specifically about malabsorption with my procedure (he's not familiar with the sleeve) because that does cause issues, but he had no worries about either my health or the baby's.

Thx Cheri i am not sure if True results center who normally performs bands know enough because i wouldn't want my child to have a rough start in life because i wanted to be thin...they were saying 3-4 lb babies are possible! I also want to know has anyone had a sleeve had a baby and lost their weight? The patient advocate office it that my stomach could stretch back out ... I just wouldn't want to go through all of that just to gain weight back. Any thoughts???
