9Months Post-Op and Pregnant!



Recommended Posts

I just turned 9 months post-op and have lost a total of 112lbs...love it. :) My husband and I always wanted a family (im 22 hes 25) but we knew we would have problem. we have not been protecting ourselves before surgery and in 5 years nothing happened. I had the surgery Oct 9th 2013. starting getting a period every month since December but still ranges from 32-41 days. I want to be a mom so bad...ive had scares since surgery but I was crampy and all that but then starting yesterday I was beginning nausea and I still get mild cramps. I went to work was sent home due to me not feeling good. but told me to take a test(which I thought I wasn't and there's no way) so I went grabbed a test to just shush everyone up lol. So I got home took the 1st test and immediately and it came back a clear POSITIVE under 45 secs! I was shocked took the second one and again POSITIVE!!!! I go this morning for a blood test..i couldn't be happier. Im scared that the blood test is going to come back wrong...but they say u cant really get FALSE POSITIVES, especially on 2 tests! and being how clear it was!!! So is it safe to say IM PREGNANT?!?!?!?!?!? :)

Your story makes me so excited! My husband and I have tried for years unsuccessfully too and this was the reason I had surgery. I'm a month behind you and your post gives me so much hope! My periods have been consistent the past 4 months and before surgery, they were either non-existent or went on forever and ever. Looking forward to following your story so make sure to keep us updated. :)

      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!

      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!!
