9Months Post-Op and Pregnant!



Recommended Posts

I just turned 9 months post-op and have lost a total of 112lbs...love it. :) My husband and I always wanted a family (im 22 hes 25) but we knew we would have problem. we have not been protecting ourselves before surgery and in 5 years nothing happened. I had the surgery Oct 9th 2013. starting getting a period every month since December but still ranges from 32-41 days. I want to be a mom so bad...ive had scares since surgery but I was crampy and all that but then starting yesterday I was beginning nausea and I still get mild cramps. I went to work was sent home due to me not feeling good. but told me to take a test(which I thought I wasn't and there's no way) so I went grabbed a test to just shush everyone up lol. So I got home took the 1st test and immediately and it came back a clear POSITIVE under 45 secs! I was shocked took the second one and again POSITIVE!!!! I go this morning for a blood test..i couldn't be happier. Im scared that the blood test is going to come back wrong...but they say u cant really get FALSE POSITIVES, especially on 2 tests! and being how clear it was!!! So is it safe to say IM PREGNANT?!?!?!?!?!? :)

Your story makes me so excited! My husband and I have tried for years unsuccessfully too and this was the reason I had surgery. I'm a month behind you and your post gives me so much hope! My periods have been consistent the past 4 months and before surgery, they were either non-existent or went on forever and ever. Looking forward to following your story so make sure to keep us updated. :)

      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.
