I am 40 and pregnant with my first baby. I am so nervous. I was sleeved 3 yrs ago, and didn't do well at all. Its my fault. I let me emotional control what I ate, and I was never able to get on track. I am very excited about my growing angel, but scared to gain extra weight. I know its possible to get on track and still loose. I just dont know how. Open to any feedback.

A 20% weight loss will kick start ovulation. I was a public health ob nurse and saw this all the time. And a had our last kid when I was 46... yep, right after working my butt off to loose 80 pounds. So now I am 62 with a 40 year old AND a 16 year old.

Just found out I was on Monday. Had surgery 8/27

Wow! How far along are you?

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

I was sleeved 10/2011, I had a baby just before my 44th birthday. My youngest at the time was 16 yrs old.

Looking for updates from those of you who got pregnant over 40, and how your pregnancy went.

I turn 40 next month, I am 5 months post surgery. I had a child 10 years ago with fertility treatment and now wanting to have another one and know it will mean fertility treatment again (fertility issues at that time were with my husband.)

I was thinking to start treatment at 12 months Post Surgery in case they do not work first try. My doctor told me 18 months before getting pregnant, but I am stressed with my age to wait that long to start trying.

Thank you.

I had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks.

I too used fertility meds to get pregnant with my last child 10 years before. We tried for a few years later but never got pregnant. We never used any form of birth control all those years so I thought we were done having children.

Then two cycles later after my 41st bday to our surprise I was pregnant again five months post surgery! I now believe my infertility was due to being overweight.

During the pregnancy I gained only 7 lbs and I delivered a healthy 8#10 baby boy in October!

I'm 43. 7 months post-op. I'm prolife, which I discussed with my surgeon, so I won't use anything that's back-up abortive (birth control pills, iud). We were using condoms despite the fact that they cause me irritation. Also, 3 years ago one of my twin sons died at birth and since then my cycles have been outrageous. I use depends diapers and stay on the couch for about 3 days a month, then have a mild period again in two weeks. So, my prolife dr told me that it is safe to be pg after sleeve. That we are way more health conscious than a teen and there are ways to help nutrition such as what they do for ppl with hyperemesis gravida (excessive vomiting during pregnancy). So we stopped with the condoms and I just found out I'm pregnant. I'm not too worried about baby because I know they will monitor me. I am worried about calling my surgeon and being treated like like a naughty teenager. Any advice? Did they do that to you?
