Hi everyone! My husband and I are seriously thinking about trying for our first baby in Spring 2017. Just curious about a few things: 1. Were any of you considered high risk pregnancy because of the VSG? I will be 39 next February so I know that will make me high risk regardless. 2. Did anyone have to go on disability due to complications, prior to delivery? I've read where some women have terrible morning sickness and can't keep anything down. 3. Just curious how any of you have been able to balance nutrition and getting fluids in? And lastly..... 4. Did anyone have a micro preemie? I heard via a FB group that VSG moms usually have micro preemie babies? Did any of you have a similar situation? We plan on seeing my surgeon/nutritionist next January (my surgiversary will be this November--I have 30 more lbs to go to reach my goal). Any information would be awesome!

Men can be very selfish and self-absorbed! My husband was a great support system while i was going through the process, however now he has gained at least 25 lbs, if not more; his eating is out of control. I asked him if he would be willing to do the surgery and he said no. Maybe our mates are having self esteem issues, i don't know. Just keep your eye on the prize and focus on getting healthy and losing weight! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've noticed that myself as well. I would say yes it is normal as we have lost a lot of weight. Prior to losing, i was hot all the time and sweating. Now I'm the opposite. You can always go to your doctor and ask, maybe they can run a thyroid test on your blood just to make sure. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon told me to start taking Magnesium and it will help with constipation Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

And on the birth control issue: i had to switch from oral birth control to an IUD. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Talked to my surgeon about this issue, he told me to take magnesium, as it will aid in the constipation issues. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
