How long after surgery where you, when got pregnant?
thenerdie replied to vanessa012287's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I got pregnant technically 3 weeks post op. My baby is healthy- due in april. I have lost 45 lbs since having surgery and my weight has been at a stall for a few months which is fine because the baby is getting what it needs from me . I'm sure once I have the baby I will lose more consistently . congrats to y and everything will be fine! PS I noticed post op pregnancy way more heartburn so be prepared lol -
Unexpected pregnancy before 18 months..
thenerdie posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi there I am only 2months post op and just found out I am pregnant. It was not planned and we used protection so it was very unexpected, I am having the baby but I was curious if anyone else experienced having a baby so soon after post op. It's not ideal I understand that but such is life. I am also curious if after the baby is born will I continue to lose? The only thing I'm regretting is I may have "f'd" up my weight loss and the sleeve would have become pointless to even undergo... I can't find much online so I'm reaching out on here. Looking for open minded people not shaming because it happened so soon post op. My surgeon also never told me that there would be a spike in fertility which I later found out through research. Thanks -

Hello! I'm am new to this,well relatively, so please be nice. I can't help but feel so depressed during this pre op liquid diet ... I have a 2year old son, no energy.... Sometimes it feels like I wish I could sleep the days away this week. My surgery is tomorrow however it's not til 12 in the afternoon. Everyone is eating "normal" around me and I am barely eating. I keep trying to have the things I'm allowed but I don't even want it . I try forcing myself but I'm just not thrilled. Sometimes I just feel like why do I have to go through this? Why am I the one that has this challenge? I am altering my natural body to lose weight. It just sucks. I know im grateful to be approved , and I sure know people have it worse than me but I can't help but feel sad. I'm having a really bad day. Has anyone else felt like this? Granted I have had days of feeling excited, nervous, and happy about getting VSG. It's like a new emotion every week . Thanks for listening Frankie

Depressed during preop.
thenerdie replied to thenerdie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you! I am trying my best to stay positive, I am one of those look on the bright side people.. Just been one tough week. And my doctor had me on just clear liquids today so it was just all building up out of frustration I suppose. I know there will be tough days down the road... I've been waiting on this surgery for 7 months pretty much because I got denied at first, So I am ready!!!!! ✌️ -

I read that some people were charged like 2-4 grand for scar cream which is nuts! This company is very fishy and the fact that they cannot keep up with orders a concern ... Last I knew they ran out of a small store in LA and were considered a fraudulent company dealing with mostly Medicaid insurances... And were yes, considered insurance scam due to the amount they were charging for scar cream . Just sharing my input on the situation.

I heard this is a scam. Some people's insurance didn't approve it and the person who applied ended up getting billed for it anyway when it was sent to them. They were getting charged for overpriced scar cream with free protein shakes and vits. It's considered a fraudulent company.
