So I am 41 years old,5’5, my highest weight is 231. I am currently 222.4. My surgery is scheduled for October 24th. As it gets closer I am very nervous. Questioning myself have I done everything possible to loose weight on my own. I gained most of my weight over the last 7 years. I did diets over the time loose 25 lbs but gain it right back. This happen repeatedly. I stopped taking birth control 2 years ago hoping to get pregnant. It never happened. I got my glucose checked Since Diabetes run in the family. My Ac1 was 6.8 the doctor put me on metformin said it could also work s a fertility. Next check up Ac1 7 and then went to 7.5. At that time my doctor retired and I saw a new doctor. She told me I need to stop worrying about having a baby and start worrying about diabetes. I was in tears. Just heartbreaking! So I continued to my nutrition classes required. My primary doctor doesn’t think I need the sleeve thinks I need a better control of nutrition and excercise. My gynecologist thinks it’s just harder to get pregnant at my age. The only one that has been positive is my weight loss doctor. He thinks at my beginning weight I should be at ideal weight in 6 months and can try to have a baby at that time. Just wondering if there is anyone with my weight and age that has become pregnant after sleeve?

Because getting proper nutrition in is so hard after weight loss surgery, a lot of surgeons wont want you to get pregnant for 18 months following your sleeve or bypass. Its just not safe for you or the baby.
