I know a couple of women who got sleeved and then got pregnant right away, but I'm not sure how old they are. We keep toying with the idea. But I'm 43 now and our youngest is 2 and I'm so much more tired now than I was with our oldest, who is 11. I have an appt with my obeys to discuss more long term bc because the part of me that wants another baby is a little bit crazy!

I am only 2 months out and I just found out I'm pregnant at 40 after having unprotected sex only once! Definitely a surprise but a welcomed surprise. My last child is 9 and was conceived with fertility meds. We tried for a fourth child about five years ago but never got pregnant.

Thanks for your replies. My hope is to get pregnant after surgery. I'm 43 and no children, married 9 years.

I'm 39 right now, and hoping to convince my husband to have one more kid once my weight stabilizes. Which would mean I'd deliver around age 40. Not sure I can sell him on it, but hoping to!

I'm 42, almost 3 years out and pregnant with our first. If you get yourself healthy, it can happen.

My mother was not a bariatric patient, but she became pregnant with my youngest brother when she was 44. For the first five months she thought she was going through the change. Then the change started to kick!

Forgot to update! I got pregnant on the first cycle we tried, and am now 8 weeks pregnant! (well, 8 weeks tomorrow, lol). I got pregnant exactly 1 year from surgery, and two months after my 40th birthday.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
