Post op FIRST time pregnancies
carriebeth replied to Jaime_Boston's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I had surgery on March 19th and found out yesterday I'm pregnant. My doc is aware I'm wasn't going to follow the recommended wait time because of my age. That said, I really didn't expect it to happened so quickly! Anyway, he said at my last appointment if I had had the bypass then it would be a much bigger problem but so long as I eat very healthy and start prenatal immediately I should be ok if I fell pregnant. Won't he be surprised in July for my next visit. -

How long did your surgery take?
carriebeth replied to trudyjo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My conversion from band to sleeve was 4 hours. There was no hernia but I had scar tissue covering the entire abdominal cavity--top of the ribcage to the bladder. -
I was sleeved on the 19th and, including pre-op, I'm down 12 pounds. I started soft yesterday and gained back a pound. That's totally normal, right?

My high weight was 237. The morning of surgery I was 229.8. The day I was released from the hospital I was 236. This morning I was 228. Let the weight loss begin! How does everyone get their protein in? I'm not hungry at all. It's the thought of food that is currently making me nauseous not the over-eating of it.

I was done the 19th and truly regretted it for a few days. Today I woke up feeling better and more positive. I'm still stiff (which hurts more than the actual pain). I'm still bloated. I went to the hospital weighing 229.8 and I'm still around 235 or so.
