Miscarriage close to 2 years after sleeve



Recommended Posts

I became pregnant in December and was very happy. I just found out last week that my baby's heart stopped a month ago at 14 weeks. I was 18 weeks pregnant and didn't know my baby was dead inside of me :-(. I have had 3 successful and healthy pregnancies and am devastated. Although the dr. said it's not due to the sleeve I am unsure. While I was pregnant I gained 20 pounds. Not only did everything taste great but I felt as though I didn't have the surgery. I was able to eat quite a bit. The even weirder part is that after I had D & C and was no longer with child my appetite went back to normal...which is eating minimal and lots of things I ate when pregnant were no longer appealing. I had the sleeve back in May of 2012 so it definitely wasn't too soon to get pregnant.

I had a friend that went through this (without the sleeve). She blamed herself for being too active. I am so sorry for your loss.

After the baby was gone you also got rid of the relaxin hormone which relaxes not only your joints but also stomach muscles making it easier to get food. I am so sorry this happened to you I am 35 weeks and every little thing has me worried this time...

I have been there (pre-sleeve), so I know the pain you are feeling. It's a terrible thing to have to experience! I'm so sorry for your loss :-( **hugs**

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss :-(

I also lost my baby in February 2014. I was 23 weeks pregnant when I went to the scan to be told baby had died at 19 weeks. I also didn't know baby had died as I was sure he was moving still. I had to be induced and deliver our boy. We had an autopsy done and the results were uterine growth restriction.

I had the gastric sleeve in September 2012. I lost 5 stone but my weight stabilised before becoming pregnant. They said it can't be because of the surgery but I'm unsure as it seemed the midwives didn't know what the surgery was at my first appointment and lack of knowledge with the health professionals. I have have two healthy children previous.

I am now 7 weeks pregnant with twins and I have to take aspirin and lots of Vitamins everyday also scans every two weeks.

I hope you and your partner are coping ok. I know how painful this is. Still think of my baby every day.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
