Has anyone had a baby after getting the sleeve? I am at my goal weight and my husband and I want another baby. But I'm afraid that I will gain everything back and be back at square one. Help

Please

Pregnancy weight is temporary. If you eat healthy you shouldnt gain that much weight.

How soon can someone get pregnant post vsg?

Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

You can get pregnant immediately ???? but you shouldn't get pregnant for 18-24 months post op. This was drilled into my heads several times even though I'm too old to have children!

Do you know the most effective form of birth control for the sleeve?

I think IUD. I haven't talked to my surgeon about my oral contraception yet (it would be just my luck to get pregnant at 48 years old!) Lol

My surgeon said to avoid pregnancy for a year. After 16 years of trying, not sure we can wait that long...

My Drs said 24 months until you should start trying. Although I have a friend that got pregnant right after she was a year out, so I guess not everyone listened.

I'd think it would be important to be at goal longer than 1 month before you try to get pregnant. You could get lucky and get pregnant right away. Losing weight quickly and then gaining again might make it harder post-baby to lose weight again.

My drs said that people who get pregnant before 2 years out tend to gain more weight overall and find it harder to reach their goal weight (post baby).

It's important to wait to improve chances of a healthier pregnancy and healthy baby.

Oh I know! Like I was saying to my hubs the other day, "I'm still learning how to feed myself, I'm nowhere near ready to eat for 2!" LOL It's just that we've been trying for what feels like forever, and to have to wait even longer...it's exhausting. :(

I know you are being funny, but if you have the mindset of eating for two you'll end up gaining too much weight. You only need a few hundred extra calories, and really not even at the beginning. Luckily you'll be able to meet that need with a Protein shake :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
