Pregnancy after VSG

[Jessica89 95]

Right now I am almost 5 months post op and have lost 111 pounds and need to lose 62 pounds more until I am to my goal weight. My husband and I were talking and we thought we would start trying to get pregnant at the end of this year in december. So I would be 15 months post op. My weight management program told me to wait 1 year and my surgeon told me to wait 2 years. So I figured around 18 months would be fine and if I start trying at 15 months post it may even take me 6 months to get pregnant. The only way I will do it this soon is if im at my goal weight, consistently getting enough Protein everyday, drinking enough Water, and taking all the viatmins I need everyday. What I am wondering is, can anyone that has been pregnant 1 to 2 years after VSG can me any info on the struggles, concerns, if u wish u would have waited to try or not, etc. I just need as much info and advice I can get. By the time I try, get pregnant and have the baby my daughter will be like 7 years old...so I don't wanna wait to much longer.

hello! Congrats on the weight loss!

I am 18 months out and about 6 weeks pregnant. I did not try to get pregnant. I was on birth control! I would be prepared to get pregnant soon after you start trying.. I think after weight loss you are more fertile!

I was initially shocked by I am happy excited now. I know its soon to get too excited but I feel I can tell people here!
