Hi all,

I had my wls in April 2014 after suffering from a miscarriage. I never weighed 260 lbs and when I reached it it drove me mad. I couldnt walk without suffering from a severe foot ache, I couldnt breathe, i was too heavy and tired all the time and The worst part was the fact that my weight affected my pregnancy and was a barrier to have another. My cousin recommended a great surgen and I went and met him. After 15 mins, the doc agreed with going for the surgery and told me it was the best choice for me bacause it will teach me how to eat healthy and how to stay healthy. My goal honestly was. Baby. Nothing else. I could not think about anything else regardless of all the warnings my ob-gyn and doc gave me about being preggers in less than a year of the surgery. My period got messed up after surgery and i waited for a couple of months til I started trying for a baby again. I went thru 3 courses of clomid and they all failed. I was an emotional wreck and decided that I needed to give myself a break. I had my first period post break on the 13th of Dec. 10 days ago, i felt it in my core.. Something kept telling me to take a pregnancy test even though My period was due the next day.. I took it mid-day and to my shock and surprise I was pregnant! I am 5 weeks 3 days preggers today and my hcg levels are great. I did loose abt 3 kgs in the past 10 days but its because of the morning sickness which is horrible.

The thing is, i am terrfied to my core. I keep getting these scary thoughts about losing my baby once more due to the malnutrition from the surgery or because my body isnt ready to house the baby. Mamas out there please share your story if you got pregnant around the same time I did, what meds did u take and how did your pregnancies go?

I finally had it done with Dr. Khalid Merza (Dr. Sultan Altemyat's partner). He is great honestly.. Well both of them are great. But when it comes to revision or reversal I think I'll chose a government hospital. I think government hospitals are better able to handle severe complications like bleeding. The setting is much better in all aspects .. Not that my doctor wasn't able to handle my bleeding, but the hospital setting was just not what I expected.

Not to mention the huge hospital bill I was left with.. It was literally more than the cost of the surgery
