Not me personally, but I spoke to several of my doctor's patients who had VSG and got pregnant after 2 yrs or so. In my research I found that the weight loss actually helps with fertility. And I know a few members of our forum are actually pregnant now -- I read few threads by them, but the names escape me at this point. You could do a search on the forum topics and you'll find those threads.

One thing I can say is Vitamin deficienies during egg maturity and conception and especially the first few weeks before you would even know you are pregnant can be extremely bad - life altering bad - for a child. I wouldn't leave it to chance - make sure your blood readings are perfect, and be sure you have addressed all the issues adding a child will bring.

Just my thoughts I guess I should add. I have no children :(

      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.
