Anyone planning on (or have had)babies have surgery



Recommended Posts

Had my daughter in March. We can't try for 2 years but has anyone had a baby after surgery? Anyway planning on having one after surgery? What is/wad your timeframe? We aren't quite sure if we want to plan to have another baby or not. The cost of daycare is crazy. Just looking for stories of others

I had surgery 11 days ago and the plan has always been to have another child and I already have 2 boys! Mr surgeon has given me strict instructions NOT to conceive for at least 12 months! Which is fine for me.

Of course this is to allow my body to adjust according and ensure that I can consume a healthy amount before I get pregnant. Hope that helps.

Mine is saying 2 years. I had a difficult time getting pregnant the 1st time and I will be 39 by the time we start trying again. Thanks!

I have 3 kids (4, 7, and 8) and we want one more. I want to lose at least 100 pounds and be a year out before getting pregnant, though I think my surgeon recommends 18 months. I'm going to be 37 in November, plus I don't want too much of an age difference between my youngest and a new baby, so I really don't want to wait too long. I do want to give myself time to be successful with my weight loss though.

I have one child- he is 3 1/2. I spoke to my surgeon at the first appointment about pregnancy after gastric bypass because I want to have 1-2 more kiddos. I am 34 so I have a little time to wait... ????

I plan to wait 2 years after surgery to give my body time to heL and to make my new way of eating a habit/more automatic.

I gained 90lbs the first time I got pregnant. I am not going to repeat that!

Also it might be easier for you to get pregnant at a healthy weight!

      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! 😞
