Awe thank you! It's been quite the roller coaster ride this year. Wouldn't change it for the world.

Did you struggle with getting the nutrients you and baby needed? If so, what did you do that helped with this? I became pregnant only 2 months post op. This was unplanned and not thought to even be possible. I feel like as long as you hit your protein and fluid goals and take your vitamins you are fine. The baby will take everything it needs from you and will not suffer. Did you develop gestational diabetes? unfortunately yes I did. I had PCOS prior to my VSG and family history of type 2 diabetes. I did insulin for the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy. Was a c-section necessary? only because baby was breech. My water broke at 37 weeks and he was still breech. How big was baby at birth? 7lbs 15 ounces. But he came at 37 weeka. Was a NICU stay necessary? no Were you able to breastfeed? no but this was do to non related issues. How much weight did you gain during pregnancy and how much of that did you lose after baby was born? i lost 22lbs my first tri and then gained 12. Once baby came I lost 19lbs and currently 66lbs total weightloss. Baby was born 1/16/18 so just getting ready to get back at it and continue my journey. Any advice for things I could do now to be better prepared? i would say really stick to those healthy eating habits. Focus on protien and fluids. It's really easy to eat poorly when pregnant. I wish I had made better choices as getting back on track is harder for me now. Best wishes to you in your journey.

I had my VSG on 3/1/17 and found out I was pregnant on 6/15/17..I was 6 wks and 6 days along. This was my first pregnancy and we were thought to never have children. 8 years of no birth control and fertility treatments early on. This was also not planned and not thought to even be possible. Pregnancy went well. I lost about 22 lbs in the 1st tri but developed gestational diabetes so gained 12 lbs back with how big baby was and the extra amniotic fluid. I would have done a vaginal birth however he was breech so had to do a c section. He is now 7 weeks old 💙💙. I am down 66 lbs now even with the pregnancy. I was all baby. I think the pregancy went relatively well considering being so soon post op. I'm 37 so I also did MFM for soft markers on US at 21 weeks. Good luck to you on your journey. Truly these are miracle babies for us.

Struggled for 8 years to fall pregnant. I had VSG on 3/1/17 and found out i was pregnant June 15th. We now have a beautiful 7 week old baby boy. This surgery gave us our little boy. We had given up trying so truly this was a miracle. I highly recommend the surgery for infertility but would advise to wait a year post op to become pregant. I'm still down 66lbs total.
