Your raspberry is ADORABLE!!! :)!!!

So happy for you and your hubby! And your other kids! Big families rock!

Did you talk to your OB about losing weight while preggers? I was 220 when I FINALLY got pregnant with my daughter. My OB actively encouraged me to loose weight while pregnant, though, of course I completely ignored her and ate like a humungus cow.

HUGS and you owe me some kleenex too! Super teary eyed here.

What a lovely outcome for you and your family. I wish you all the very best for your growing family. biggrin.gif

On a side note, I actually lost 23kg while pregnant with my second son simply through watching what I ate and appropriate exercise (under my doctor's care.) So good luck with your weight.

I hope you really enjoy being pregnant. I loved it!

OMGosh, this is probably my favorite post of the entire day! Congratulations to you!!!!!!!!! As a longtime sufferer of PCOS and other various reproductive issues, babies have long been off my radar, and I gave up years ago the idea of ever having children, so I know how that part of it feels.

I am completely impressed and happy for you!

Also, I've heard that 'band babies' are somewhat common, as women end up gaining back their fertility when they start losing weight. I have a friend who is a fellow bandster, and she got pregnant right after getting her band, and her little son is a healthy 3 year old now, so I know it's possible to have a healthy pregnancy with the band.

Good luck with everything! How exciting!

So guess what... ME TOO! Just found out. I am still in shock and awe. Guess losing weight helps with PCOS. My mom's response was "Well, I guess you're getting healthier."

HOLY CRAP!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
