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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
