Was wondering if you can lose weight if you get prego after the sleeve? Will you continue your weight loss? Especially if you were on 1yr. Post op when you become prego. I was sleeved on 3/11 but one day want to have children.

I would also like to know! Great question.

My understanding is that you'll follow the guidelines for the pregnancy (possibly including gaining weight) and for breast feeding afterwards you'll need a few extra calories as well... But after that you can go right back to losing!

Losing weight, and especially ketosis, is bad for a pregnancy - it makes your body think it's a famine and that's no time to be having a baby.

The key is to find an OB who has experience with WLS patients! So use this next year or so to shop around and find an OB you like.

Awesome advice! I will shop around. Thanks
