Additional pregnancies easier after the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I have open tubes and have had three chemical pregnancies. Doctors claim that they can't find any reason why the pregnancies weren't holding other than I needed to lose weight, soooo that's another reason I'm hoping that a gastric sleeve will help.

What's a chemical pregnancy

Chemical pregnancies are pregnancies that do not stay long enough to be confirmed at your first official prenatal appointment. It's basically an early miscarriage. I missed my period, tested positive but the positive fades away days later and turns into a negative before the onset of a seemingly heavy period.

OK I see is that common in tubal reversal patients.

      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!!
