Miscarriage Post Sleeve

[TheMrsAsh18 24]

Hey Everyone!

So pre-surgery I had 3 pregnancies with little complications. I was 365 @ the time. My current husband and I want to have a baby, however I've gotten pregnant twice and miscarried both times. Has anyone else had any issues with miscarriage post sleeve? I've been told that its usually the opposite.

I was done having children before surgery so I don't have any experience with post surgery. I'm very sorry for your losses. Best wishes for your next pregnancy to be a successful one.

I had two miscarriages before successfully carrying my two sons full term, so I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry. That's so hard. 😢 I'm pre-surgery though, so I can't help with that aspect. I was also told that fertility usually increases after pregnancy. My only thought would be that maybe if you're still losing weight that would cause your body to not reserve enough additional nutrients for the pregnancy? We hope to have another child after surgery too, and my surgeon told me he doesn't want me to get pregnant until after the rapid weight loss has stopped.

I don't know anything about the impacts of the surgery on pregnancy but I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your losses.

I haven't tried yet but they made us take a class on post surgery pregnancies and we were told you have to wait 2 years post op and then even then you still have a decent chance of miscarriage because of the diet and your body still trying to adjust. WE were told the longer that you wait the more likely you won't have a miscarriage. I have had one friend who got pregnant post op.. I think she was at the year and a half mark and carried a healthy baby but prior to surgery she couldn't get pregnant on her own.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had an ectopic pregnancy before I had my daughter, so I feel your pain to some degree. Allow yourself to grieve and then move forward when you're ready. Take care of yourself!
