Oops...6 Months Post Op And Pregnant!

[morthnaprtyfac1 17]

Ok although I am happy for you if a baby is what you have been hoping for, I am not wanting a baby and I am terrified that my IUD could fail. Thanks for freaking me out completely. Ive only had it about 4 months and now I am wondering what to do.

Sorry to freak you out. Let's bring it into perspective, I had the IUD for seven years. I think I was one of the few not the majority...you will be fine.

I asked my mum and she had copper-7 iud in for four years and no issues at all! She's actually wondering why she didn't get it again when she was done! She went on pill and it caused a host of issues for her.

In actually thinking (completely ignore my post above of switching to copper iud. This is after speaking to my mum and gyno- it's more effective than condoms at least!

I will just cross my fingers for no miracles

Hope all mums n bubs doing well!!!

well the iud isn't 100%, you should be using a condom with it if you want to be absolutely safe.IUD can slip when you lose a lot of weight. 99% seems like a lot but that means they predict if you do the deed 100 times you will get pregnant

I think maybe it's time for an update! The pregnancy is doing great. I am currently almost 24 weeks pregnant and the baby is growing on schedule! I have no complications because of the sleeve, only have to take some extra Vitamins because I can't eat as much. Even with 100lb lost I am still obese, so my surgeon, NUt and OB are all happy that's weight has stabilized, meaning no loss, but no gain either! In fact this pregnancy is a lot easier than my pre sleeve pregnancy!

Even though this baby was only planned to happy a year after my sleeve surgery, we are very happy and feel very blessed that we have this incredible gift on the way!

And for anyone wondering, we are having another gorgeous little girl!!!

I'm 6 months PO next week and I'm 11 weeks prego. I've already had 2 ultrasounds to check on the baby's growth and so far all is good. I'm wondering if you're still having no weight loss or gain at this point. So far, my weight fluctuates up & down from day to day but I'm staying in the 185-190 range. And my jeans are too big. I have my first appt with my Sleeve Doc next week since I found out I was prego. So I'll see what he says too. I've just been trying to eat healthy and not over do it on the junk food.< /p>

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Wishing you a happy and healthy 6 months!!!

I got the sleeve so I could lose weight and have a baby but now that I'm less than a month sleeved, I'm afraid ill lose weight and be scared to gain it all back. You seem to be maintaining well. When do you think is a good time to try? 1year?

All the doctors, including my own, and all the research that I did before getting the sleeve agree that it is best to wait a year before trying to get pregnant, to give your body time to heal and adjust to life with the sleeve. And I would still recommend that.

My current pregnancy was a happy, unplanned accident, that just happens to be going well, but it could have been so different. That is why I will always suggest to listen to your doctors and when they say your body is ready, then go for it!

Good luck with your sleeve journey and all the joys that go with it!!

Just don't forget that you DO have options. I don't know how you feel about that but it is something to consider.
