Has Anyone Gotten Pregnant After Sleeve



Recommended Posts

I also have PCOS and I have 4 kids. My last one I was 293 when I found out I was pregnant so obese women CAN have a "normal" pregnancy.

What a blessing four angels. I can't wait til God blesses me with one angel. Did you have any complications during pregnancy? One doc told me being over weight would cause complications. It acted like I have was 300 lbs. Im just 233 now, I lost a little weight.

First of all I will tell you I was told I would never have kids naturally. I have never been under 200 with all four pregnancies. The highest was 293 and the lowest was 230. I was told not to gain more than 15# and I didn't. I didn't have any problems, I didn't even have diabetes.

I agree 100%. Grant it, I had surgery to avoid setting myself and the baby up for possible complications and pre-disposing the baby to being obese as studies are now showing obese mothers have a higher incidence of obese children.

The main reason doctors advise patients to wait an XX amount of months post-op is because it gives the body to stabilize at a specific weight, BUT there are hundreds of women who get pregnant before even 1 year post-op and have perfectly healthy, full term babies.

A blessing. I got 2 share your story with my husband. I had 2 miscarriages. The first one I was four months. The last on was March of this year. I was in a bad car accident and a lady hit me from behind. Idk I was pregnant . I found out at the hospital they gave me a pregnancy test before x-ray. The doctor said your pregnant. I said not me lol. He said yes. A week later I lost the baby. The trauma of the accident. Im going 2 keep hope alive

I use birth control and jimmy hats for protection. I thought I could not get pregnant without using clomid and it happen with out it the second time. My doctor said the same thing. He said we could have miscarriages if we have a baby before 12months. I tell u, I plan on preventing a baby right now. A miscarriage is the hardest thing beside losing my mom I had 2 go through. The mental and physical pain for me was no joke. I would have dreams my baby was handicap. Because this dumb doctor told me I could have had a special needs kid. That's not true. I have a good ob now. He is caring.

      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.
