Trying to Conceive After Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello! I had my gastric sleeve done on July 15 of this year and I AM NOT planning on waiting the 1-2 years to start trying again. We require fertility intervention to get pregnant (hoping not as much since I've lost 65lbs so far) but we've already started trying. My fertility doctor is one of the best in his field and has cleared me to move forward. I have one son luckily who took a year to conceive but I want more. Are there any newly thinner mommies that are moving forward with TTC dreams? Any luck so far, experiences, things that have helped?? I would love to create some connections here to support my weight loss and baby creation journeys.

it might be dangerous not to wait, your body is still in a malnourished state and loosing weight. It could be dangerous to be pregnant. Definitely go by your doctors adivce

Congratulations on your decision!!! How exciting!!!!

I had a sleeve done a little over a year ago and am currently pregnant (due in July 2016). I didn't need any kind of treatments. I did have to take clomid to get pregnant with our almost 2 year old. While I'm not in the same situation as you, it was much easier for me to get pregnant this time. We tried for months last time and had to take 2 rounds of clomid. My currently pregnancy wasn't exactly unplanned, but we didn't have to try and try and try. I hope that even if you have to have some kind of fertility treatment, that your newfound weight loss does the trick in helping you get pregnant. Best of luck!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
