Recommended Posts

soooo..... needless to say I'm freaking out!!! just found out I'm pregnant and will be calling both my doctor to set up an appointment to confirm and my surgeon for information, but yikes! I've heard pregnancy is quite common after weight loss surgery, but I'm concerned about how soon after the surgery this is....has anyone been through this or have any information to share???

No but good luck and congrats. I am sure both your OB and surgeon will take good care of you and make sure are getting all the nutrition you need.

We have the same surgery date, I was 12/10/12 as well. I unfortunately had a miscarriage the day I turned 5 weeks pregnant. I guess my body jst wasn't ready to carry another person. So, I do apologize. I wish I had some advice for u.... Good luck and I'd love to hear about u and ur little one's progress!!

Thank you aquite. I am ok though, the pregnancy was not planned. The first week after was rough but I'm ok now, continuing to enjoy this weight loss. It will happen again when the time is right! :-)

I'm 9 months post op and I am 4 months pregnant. I am doing just fine. We are no different from a regular pregnant women besides our stomach. If you are following your normal diet after surgery then you are fine. There isn't any need to freak out, just take all your Vitamins and eat the good nutritional food. These no right or wrong time to get pregnant. It's just said to wait but no one said you had too. So relax and enjoy it :)

Hi ladies, I had my sleeve aug 2012, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have only gained 7 pounds. Dr told me today that my baby weighs only 4.2 pounds and should be around 5.5 pounds by now. Going to have another ultrasound next Tuesday and if baby isn't gaining anymore weight they will schedule my csection. Any ideas on how I can gain weight fast? I'm trying to eat more Protein and ensure drinks. I want a healthy baby. :( thanks for any ideas.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
