Well I'm half way through the process, hoping to have surgery in may or June. The wife had RNY a year ago and is doing awesome really awesome. She had Pcos and we have tried for years to have a baby and now that she has had Rny and has lost a lot if weight, she is now pregnant :) which is awesome so excited!!! But wondering if I should post pone my surgery cause my surgery date should be in June and the kid due date is August. I just want to make sure I'm good to go and all healed up for when the kid comes. Think a month to a month and half is enough time in between ?

I agree. Go for it. That way when your baby is born, all three of you will be starting a new life together.

It's going to be a crazy couple months. Im sure I can get through it all. If I don't do it now, who knows when. Still have 5 months to get everything in order, right?

congrats on the comming baby. I had my surgery on sept 10 2012 and my 3rd daughter was born on oct 11 2012. I was nicely healed and ready to go. You should be fine.

I would go for it before the baby comes. You won't really have another opportunity for the next 18 years lol.

I'm with everyone else! You totally need to do it before. That way you've done the hardest of the healing portion. Cause when the baby comes its going to be a while before you and your wife will feel like you can take a couple weeks for you to be out of service. If you know what I mean.... I definitely say do it start your whole family off on the right foot ;)

A second thought is also, you being on a restricted diet as well might help influence her to stick to her healthy eating habits. Pregnancy, nursing and baby hormones I think can derail you if your not careful. It might be helpful to her.

I agree with everyone else, go for it. I think it will be good for all of you. I am so glad you wife has had such success and that your family is being blessed with a little one. Now get healthy Daddy so you can play and play and play with that little one. Wishing you the very best, to all of you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
