One of the reasons I am having this surgery is because I wanna be a mom. I want my pregnancy to be a healthy one. Me being 5'0 and 236 pounds puts me at high risk if I were to get pregnant. Hearing all u ladies who didny wait the amount of time you were suppose to after the surgery gives me hope. I am jealous of all u ladies who had the surgery and are now gonna be moms. I cant wait to be at that point. My surgery is scheduled for march 14. Hopefully hy this time next year I will be pregnant. Congrats to all u ladies. And wish me luck :)

Lol. I'm looking at having this surgery so I'll look hot in my maternity pics. I think pregnant women look so breath takingly beautiful.

I don't want the are you pregnant or fat questions that I get now. ( I went through a super girly phase & didnt wear pants for 2 years & as a result I have a very round belly & have a hard time with pants. Can't tolerate belts, I have the family flat backside so my pants just slide right down. )

Anyways, I only have 1 ovary due to some teratomas ( cysts with hair, bone, fat, teeth, brain tissue) sorry if TMI but they sandwiched my poor ovary & cut off its blood supply I had them removed & the dr said they were the size of an iphone!!!!

I have pcos also so my fertility chances are slim wo this surgery.

I'm still debating my options but leaning towards the sleeve. Just wortied I'll possibly stretch it out. As I'm a big volume eater! Never much for sweets still have halloween candy from 2 years ago!

Thank you for sharing your story. I did not go through the hurdles you have gone through but I too am getting this surgery so I can be at a lower weight and be pregnant. I hope you do this so you can increase your chances and have a happy pregnancy. I am happy with the sleeve and wouldn't change anything. Now if only I can wait a year before getting pregnant

I am 8 mos post op and almost 8 mos pregnant. I got pregnant 2 Wks after surgery by accident. I had a para guard IUD and still ended up pregnant. My first trimester was hard. I was very sick all day. But at about 6 mos that got better. I have lost over 115 lbs since my surgery Aug 2. And my OB and surgeon say that's fine. My baby is 100% healthy and she's a very active girl :) Congrats! This is my third! Children are so amazing and they're what keeps me going everyday.

I passed a clot on Friday and have had pink when i wipe since then. I went to the er on Friday and they did a vaginal ultrasound and I still showed pregnant. Do y'all think this is a sign of a miscarriage? It's my first pregnancy and I've been under a lot of stress since Friday. My dad passed away unexpectedly.

Same thing happened to me, with my first pregnancy and everything was fine. In fact, I had spotting up until my 2nd trimester.

Take it easy, try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy even-though you are going thru a rough time. So sorry about your dad.

      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.
