I am due to get surgery on 6/18 and my big motivator is having a baby with my amazing husband. We don't have any children due to pcos. I am 35 and I hope that I will get pregnant soon! Kaisers says 2 years but u want to wait 1 year. I keep having a dream about this beautiful lil boy who looks just like my husband I desperately want to meet him. I wish I could have done this sooner. Please forgive me if I am sounding too emotional!!

Thanks for the hope you have all given me.

Of course you are not being too emotional!! I am 21 and having a child (in the future, not now :D ) was one of my motivations to have this surgery. You are not the first on these boards either whose main motivation for the surgery was to have children. I believe there is even section on this site specifically for people post-sleeve who are pregnant or who are trying to become pregnant!! If you haven't already you should check it out for sure :)

Good luck! You're surgery will be here before you know it. And hopefully that beautiful little angel as well :)

I was sleeved June 20, 2011 and found out I was pregnant jan 27, 2012 only 7 months out!! I was shocked! I've lost 105 lbs over 25 of that while pregnant I'm 5 months haven't gained anything and my little boy is healthy and measuring big!! :) getting pregnant was one of my many reasons I wanted to be sleeved, because I knew it would be too unhealthy for me & too risky for a baby at my size, but I never thought it would be this soon!! I wish you all the success with the sleeve and having a baby! The sleeve has really changed my life, and I just feel so lucky to have had such an amazing tool to help me in my weight loss journey and life!

Emily, thanks for your kind words! :)

Lovely, that gives me so much hope. My husband and I have been trying for six years with no success! I hope it happens for me too! Thanks for sharing your story.

Good luck to you all! :)

Having a child in a few years is a major reason i choose to do the surgery as well. I have horrible pcos and have misscarried, i am also 21.

Veronica,

Your story sounds a lot like mine. I've been married to the most amazing man for just about 5 years. My weight seems to be the only reason we have never gotten pregnant in all this time so this is my biggest reason for getting sleeved in July. Doc says we need to wait 2 years to get pregnant which will put me at close to 35 if we get pregnant 2 years from now. My husband is already 45 and we both want a baby very badly. I feel very hopeful when I read many of these threads that our dream will come true. Best of luck on your surgery tomorrow!

      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. 🤞
