Pregnant With Sleeve Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Anyone had issues with the staples detaching after becoming pregnant. A bit worried getting pregnant after having my sleeve done. I wouldn't want the baby and I in danger if the staples become loose and it cause a leakage. Can this happen?

I haven't heard of that happening.

I thought your stomach starts to heal over your staples so I don't think there's the possibility of it causing a leal after your stomach heals.

I'd ask your surgeon and see what he thinks

Best of luck :-)

My doctor told me to wait a year and everything would be fine.......

We had a MAJOR birth control FAIL!!! First time we had set after surgery we got pregnant even with 2 forms of birth control... I am 17 weeks now and there hasn't even been a mention of the staples being a concern and I am ALWAYS emailing my surgeon and his staff asking questions.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
