Pregnancy After Sleeve.



Recommended Posts

Hi!!

Good afternoon!!! We have one baby (8months). I would like to have the sleeve and I have started the process.

We aren't sure if we want another baby. What has being pregnant and labor been like with your sleeve? I would love to hear!!!

I do not feel worried about fetility other than needing to be very cautious. We were naturally pregnant with triplets. I miscarried the set of twins at the very end of my first trimester.

Have you had a baby pre and post sleeve? Notice any differences?

How was loosing weight after baby?

Thanks for sharing any information.

Now I have never had a baby, so I can only tell you what I have been told by the doctor and nutritionist. You can have another child if you want, but you should probably wait at least 18 months before trying. If you get pregnant in that time then just tell your doctor and they will watch you alittle closer. From the sounds of it the pregnancy will be smooth. Also after the surgery becareful because getting pregnant is a lot eisier. Just something to keep in mind.

Hi!!

Thanks for replying. I sure do not want a pregnancy now or within 18months after Vsg. It almost seems counter intuitive, loose weight and gain health, then have another.

I would hate to struggle to loose baby weight after working so hard on my body and making changes.

Maybe I need to do some soul searching.

Wonder what others experience has been like with baby weight.

That is a good idea. My husband and I don't have kids but one day we hope we will. So I paid attention on all of those things. You can ask the nutritionist and see what she knows. That is one question they probably will ask is when are you planning your next. Then ask all the questions you can possibly think of.

Hi!!

Thank you kindly for talking this out with me. I will write this in my notes so I remember to talk to the nutritionist. I surely, prefer to make an educated decision.

I am still at the beginning of this process. Sounds like I will learn a bit more as my appointments progress.

I wish you success in your weight loss journey and baby/ies!! The road to and being a mother is truely great!!

:-)

      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. 🤞
