  1. Speaking from my experience.......please please wait until the year and a half. I was pregnant immediately after my wls. Although i gave birth to a completely healthy baby girl, there were alot of complications and concerns. I wz hospitalized 3 times during the pregnancy for dehydration n malnutrition. The baby wz taking everything frm me and i couldnt keep any food or liquids down. The baby wz constantly being monitored via monthly sonograms.
  2. I am now 6 weeks post op. On Friday I was feeling extremely weak, nauseous, and I couldn't stop vomiting. When I arrived to the ER the immediately determined that I was dehydrated. They hooked me up to IV and tested my urine. After testing my urine the nurse returned and informed me that my pregnancy test was positive. About an hour later I was sent in for a sonogram. The tech that conducted the sonogram stated that I was 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant!!!! She said that I had became pregnant possibly 2-3 days before the surgery was performed. I remained in the hospital until Sunday for further observation so the surgeon could determine if the illness was from the surgery or the pregnancy. When I was discharged on Sunday the surgeon said that the illness was definitely from the pregnancy. I'm still wondering how did this happen....

    Pregnant During VSG surgery/??

    Thanks!! This will be my second. I felt that this is a story that needed to be told. Just something for us VSG women to be mindful of prior to surgery. Especially since all birth control must be stopped 4 weeks prior to surgery.

    Eating and Drinking Too Much

    Hi fleur My nutritionist said that as the swelling goes down in our pouches, we will be able to drink more liquids.

    Lenox Hill Hospital

    It seems like u have been doing really well since surgery. Is this like the bypass with restrictions on food that you will NEVER be able to eat again?
