How much did you weigh when you got pregnant?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I had surgery 3 months ago and I have lost 70 pounds. HW 345 CW 275. I had the surgery in hopes of getting pregnant, I am only 24, but my husband and I have been trying to conceive for 2 years. I am worried I will always be big and won't get pregnant.

What weight were you when you got pregnant? How many months post op?

I need prayers for fertility. I hate that is has to be so complicated for me :(

Don't they advise you to wait a year to 18 months post surgery to get pregnant?

I think once you lose most of your excess weight, it may happen. I see it on these boards all the time. Congrats on the 70 pounds!

Honestly give your body time to heal from this surgery and change. My surgeon recommends waiting about 12-18 months. Once you have gotten to that point your body may surprise you and be rearing to go in fertility. But to give yourself the best chance at a healthy pregnancy I would wait the recommended amount of time. The goal is always a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. I work in an on/gyn clinic and we have had successful pregnancy in patients with weight loss surgery but it's really important to give your self a chance to adjust to this new life first! Then you will be the healthiest you can be for a normal healthy pregnancy and that perfect healthy baby!

      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!!
