Hi All,

I had my son when I was 25 and weighing around 260s (i am 5'9). I was young and lots more energy and weighed less then. I have been putting off other kids for numerous reasons but the major one is how physically drained I feel. I also have Hoshimoto's and PCOS. I am weighing around 285 now and just turned 30 in Feb. I have been reluctant to get pregnant again because I just can't imagine having the extra weight, the discomfort, the complications, etc. Not too include the extra weight and trying to manage two kids, house, family and career. I mean it just does not sound doable. I am supposed to be sleeved this summer. I can't help but think pregnancy and kid rearing after you lose 100lbs+ has to be easier....at least as far as energy and just movement to get up and play, etc. I play now and we do lots of stuff but it takes a toll. I feel like I am running out of time. I would likely be hitting 31 or 32 by the time I could get preggers....making my son and potential other kid 7 years apart (not ideal). END RANT!

Thoughts? Was your second (third, fourth, etc) pregnancy and life easier after the sleeve and weight loss?

Oh ok. Our insurance didn't cover the tubal reversal either. We financed it through Care Credit and paid later.

I don't want to take out any loans

Have any of you ladies had any body contouring prior to pregnancy? I'm considering it, but I think it would be a complete waste of time and money to do it before becoming pregnant. What do you all think?

As someone who just had baby post-sleeve. I would definitely wait on any contouring until after pregnancy. My body changed from pre-pregnancy to after. And definitely stretched a lot during pregnancy. I joked with my husband that I had 115lbs of extra skin and still wound up with some stretch marks I didn't have before!

Thanks ladies i figured that would be the best thing to do, but I'm tired of looking like a flying squirrel. Lol thank God for spanx.
