Recommended Posts

Just confirmed that I am indeed PREGNANT!!! 5 weeks 2 days! My EDD is 4/13/14. We are so excited about this, I couldn't wait to tell our friends and family, so they all found out yesterday. I am 9 months post-op and down 123 lbs since surgery. I have PCOS and have struggled for the past 20 years with irregular cycles and fertility. We have a healthy 3.5 year old, that was conceived through treatment after 5 years. Since surgery I have had monthly cycles, every 28-30 days. This is amazing!!! I feel like my life is finally mine, and not inhibited by my weight/size. My prayers have been answered. Doing the happy dance!!!! Wooohoooo!!!

That is fabulous! Congratulations!!! I also have PCOS. I thought I was never going to have a child. In fact, I was in my late 30s and was ready to have and ablation, which would have ended my chances for good. But that is when I found out I was pregnant. I had lost 36lbs before I conceived. It was the grace of GOD really, but I do have my beautiful daughter for it. Now I am ready to change my life so that I can be the best mommy I can, and I am excited the sleeve will give me the chance!

Identical stories with pcos and fertility, weights and periods, and my cycle before conceiving was every 28 days, never in my life until after the sleeve! Congrats and woohoo!

Wow! very similar here!. I am 11 months post op, down 123 pounds and am 6w4d preggers due 4/18/14. I had gotten to 127 down, but weight started to creep up a little, but has been holding steady at 123 down for about 3 weeks, just after finding out. I have a 4 year old daughter. My surgeon said to wait to get pregnant until 9-12 months post op, and we weren't trying, but it happened. We are excited, it's just a little earlier than planned. I have had no morning sickness and I'm hoping that's because of the surgery, but it might be too soon. I hope I don't end up with it. I had miserable morning sickness the first pregnancy, all day every day and was hospitalized twice for hyperemesis. Saw my OB yesterday and got the first sono. He said all looks good. Hope it stays that way. He said make sure to take the Vitamins and stay hydrated. I'm also grazing constantly to make sure I get nutrients. Hoping the weight comes off easily after....

      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!!
