1 year out and 7 months pregnant :\



Recommended Posts

This June, I will be sleeved for two years! On my 1 year anniversary of being sleeved, I got pregnant! Isn't that something? :lol: It was quite a shock, and something that I didn't plan, but a blessing nonetheless.

I've been meaning to write on here about thins for a while but have been so busy. I used to be 170 and wanted to reach a goal of 140. Well, I dreadfully checked the scale and am now a whopping 185. I've gained 15 pounds from being pregnant. I won't lie, I am depressed because of this.

Do any of you sleevers or people who have gotten a bariatric surgery in general have any advice to a pregnant sleever like me?

I am also worried about the delivery and if me and my baby will be ok during birth. My body is quite small... I haven't told my surgeon I'm pregnant either, I'm afraid of his reaction and haven't seen him since September (I still wasn't showing back then).

One year out you should be fine with the pregnancy but I would tell the doctor. I had my uterus prolapse and they fixed it with major surgery and I was pregnant within two months of surgery. But the weight can get out of hand quickly as we all know so I would ask for help.

I've spoken to my regular doctors, just not my gastric surgeon! That's so scary though. I'm glad you're all better but now I'm going to be paranoid about that lol deff will bring that up on my next visit.

Congrats! 15 pounds is a good weight gain for seven months. Talk to your obesity. That dr. Is who matters most right now.

      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!!
