If you got pregnant within a year of getting a sleeve, what gender did you have?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'd like to know if you got pregnant within a year of getting a sleeve done what gender was your baby? I had been trying for more than a year and a half before I got my sleeve; I have a history of infertility. Anyway, I have two boys and was doing a ton of research and swaying while trying to get pregnant.

Data shows that weightloss sways for a girl (changes the PH in the body), so I'm just wondering what gender you had if you were still losing weight from your sleeve and got pregnant!!

Thanks in advance :)

My doc said if I got preg during weightloss I would more likely have twins. This could be because of my age too... Im older. I am also IN menopause... she said I could pop out and get pregnant anyway!

The 2 women that I know that have gotten pregnant within the first 12-18 months post-VSG both gave birth to happy, healthy baby boys.

Don't men have that say? That is what I was always taught in school... so I'm not really sure what my PH balance would have anything to do with what sex my baby is born with. :blink:

My friend that got preg 8 months into RNY had a healthy boy. (her other child was a girl) I think dad has a lot to do with the sex too...

I've read some "hocus pocus" stuff on pH killing off the boy spermies, and the girl spermies are able to survive a bit longer in our bodies. I've also studied the shettles method in ways to help pre-determine the sex of a baby. Personally, I think God has all the say in this little factor of life.

Ah okay, that makes sense. And you are right, I believe too if you you were meant to have a boy - and only had one living male spermie vs. a billion female spermies - if it's God's will you will have a Boy. ;)

There are also theories on what day of your cycle that you get pregnant determines the sex. Male sperm are fast swimmers and get there first, but die soon. Female sperm swim slower but live longer. I got pregnant with both of my kids on day 13 and both are girls. My sil has 3 girls getting pregnant on day 13. I have another friend that swears by the Chinese calendar. It's all fun to think about, but you love what you get no matter what. Isn't trying suppose to be the best part anyway : )

My whole family and myself have always done the Chinese birth chart. I has only been wrong once and we think that person doesn't know what month see got prego. Try it for people who already had their babies. Just make sure the know the month and age they were and compare it to the chart. It seems that the older we are the more likely it is a girl.

Thanks so much for all of your replies.

Actually, what has the most influence on determining the gender of a baby at conception is the Ph and the ion status of the mother's body. The Ph and Ions are most influenced by the diet of the mother; I've been studying gender and conception for three years; I have a background on molecular science.

The male carries the x or y sperm but he isn't the determining factor, our environment is.

The only reason that the day of month has anything to do male of female is that your environment changes down there the closer you get to ovulation. Egg white cervical mucus favors the y (male) sperm because of it's higher Ph. If your Ph is already low in your body as a whole, it will make no difference what day you have sex, the sperm probably won't be influenced by anything but the low Ph and negative ions, usually resulting in a x sperm winning. I said usually, but there is obviously a 50/50 chance of either. The only thing that is 100% is PGD.

I did some research on babies conceived within a fifteen month window after weight loss surgery (the 15 months being from the date of the surgery); 17 babies resulted in 12 girls and 5 boys.

It's interesting to say the least, for me anyway. I don't think I'll be having anymore babies, but still interesting.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
