One Year Out And Pregnant!



Recommended Posts

Congratulations!! I haven't been on the site in a while and wanted to check in. I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant!!!! Our stories were pretty similar, we tried for about 2 years before my sleeve surgery with no luck. Now, 1 year post-op, I'm pregnant! How has it been for you the past couple months? Have you been feeling well?

Congratulations Kirstin and Kristina. It's the stories on this thread that helped me decide to go for surgery. We will start trying as well at the one year mark. But I haven't had the surgery yet. Best of luck to you both!

Hello! I have not been on here in a while so thought I would update. I was 15 weeks yesterday, things are progressing well. I had a VERY rough first trimester, lots of nausea and vomiting. I started taking zofran around week 9 which has helped a lot but not completely. I feel a little better every day though. I weighed 171 the day I found out I was pregnant, then lost 7 lbs (down to 164) from all the sickness and food aversion; I seriously coudn't stomach the thought of eating! Now that I am feeling better and eating again, I have put 4 lbs back on, making me 168 lbs today. So I am still down 3 lbs at the 15 week mark, but baby seems to be doing just fine. Good luck to all of you, can't wait to hear your success stories soon!

Congrats to you!!! I'm 6 months post op and 13 weeks pregnant! I too have/had PCOS and was told I would never conceive....well....it was definitely the weight holding me back. Baby is healthy, I am fine!! I haven't been sick or had any cravings. I have lost more weight and the docs don't want that. HW was 283, today I'm 186 (almost at goal) We are very happy! Best wishes to everyone!!!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
