Pregnancy layer in life

[Leesa926 72]

Just wanted to say it's nice to read all of the stories of women getting pregnant later in life. I am 36 years old now 37 this month and I'm having the sleeve hopefully in December.

I would like to get pregnant but I was nervous based on my age and getting pregnant after surgery. I was scared that the sleeve would stop working but I just started reading some of these posts and it's making me feel alot better.

I too have friends saying why have surgery now and waste it if you get pregnant. I don't know alot about that so I'm going to read these boards.

I know the recommendation is 1 - 2 years post op.

Thanks for this forum.

You'll get pregnant a lot easier after losing weight. And if u have to use fertility treatment down the road so be it. You really aren't that old though. Have u been pregnant before?

I got pregnant post sleeve at 38. I had my sleeve when i was 37. I got pregnant 1 year post op. My gyn thought it would take longer. It didn't. I would not recommend it unless you are close or at goal. I have had so many issues post pregnancy and I am going in for revision. Be sure to try to wait the recommended time.

No this would be my first... I would want to wait and notice many of my friends having babies much later in life so we shall see!
