Trying to conceive after surgery



Recommended Posts

So I’m 2 months away from my one year mark. I’ve gotten down to 210lbs. So I’ve lost 120lbs total. We tried from 2015-2018 and got pregnant four times but they all resulted in miscarrage due to my weight and weight related health issues (high bp but mainly diabetes) and then had one chemical pregnancy. I didn’t realize why until I went to a professional and he told me I needed to loose weight to have a healthy/successful pregnancy. So I proceeded to have gastric bypass and ended up having the surgery March 27,2019 and here I am healthier and happier. Only thing I have wrong now is anxiety and a rapid heart rate (from being on high bp meds so long) which I’m on medicines so both are under control. Well we have been ttcing since October and still nothing. I was told fertility will raise after the surgery and I’m kinda starting to get disappointed. Did any of you ladies have troubles ttcing after surgery? I guess I’m so discouraged because we tried for so long in the past and now I can’t help but feel like we’re still going to have problems conceiving.

Dont be in a rush and stressing yourself out. When I was TTCing with pcos back in 2013 I started having sex for fun so I wouldnt stress. Make the point of having sex is to have fun without using contraceptives. This makes it better. Have you been to your gyn to get screened for pcos? I took metformin for it and got pregnant the next cycle . Goodluck

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
