There is a forum for pregnancy. Not sure if anyone is active. I would make an appointment to get tested and loop in your surgeon ASAP. I would assume at five months out you can get the nutrition you and baby need but you probably need to make some adjustments to how you have been eating.

Then have a chat with your dietician about how many more calories you’ll actually need to consume if you are pregnant. You may be surprised how little extra you’ll need & that will all be consumed by your growing baby. Just don’t fall into the ‘eating for two’ trap. The second is not a fully grown adult. You’re already eating healthier so another bonus to you and your baby.

All the best.

Congrats! I ended up not being pregnant but how is it going for you if you don’t mind me asking? When I informed my surgeon they treated me like a child and told me it was irresponsible and that I need to wait until I’m 18 months out from surgery to be pregnant

I've had two pregnancies since the sleeve. With my first I was only 11 months post op and not at my goal weight.

(2018) I was around 211 when I got pregnant and delivered at 240. I still had elevated blood pressure throughout my pregnancy. I also did have gestional diabetes so I was induced at 37 weeks & 3days. With my second(2020) I was 220 when I got pregnant and delivered at 240 again. He is now 14 months and I'm 139lbs. So it did take me a lot longer to loose the weight, but I was only 22 when I got the surgery. I don't regret taking longer to loose the weight.
