Be careful. They tell you to wait for a reason. It's not just your eating, your body is going through a LOT of changes and you want to make sure you are providing a safe environment for the baby.

I know it does. But a year and a half is nothing compared to a safe, healthy baby!

Not that it can't be done, as jerz is proof! Just think it through and make the best decision for your future baby :)

Oh wow that really close to surgery. I hope all is okay. I'm 5 months post op and I'm not preventing it. All my eating and drinking has been great so I should be ok then. Well see Im not sure its easy for me to get pregnant its just a wish.

That's what I said. Before surgery I tried for 13 years to have another baby. I took fertility meds and everything. I was only on birth control pills to make my period stop because sometimes it would last for months. I never thought in a million years I would get pregnant on my own.

That's what everyone says! My son thinks I'm crazy (he's 14)

Went to the doc today and got to hear my babe's heartbeat! I'm on cloud 9 right now! They're switching me to a high risk doctor tho cuz my blood pressure is high, Iron is low and my scar tissue still is sore (had open RNY) plus they don't know jack about RNY so they're treating me like I'm made outta glass lol

You really should just hold out :-) I have baby fever... Even was ready to not only ignore my bariatric doctor but got nervous when my gyno doctor who is really down to earth urged me to PLEASE wait. She's been seeing a lot of patients who didn't wait and are having lots of complications. So of course I googled it. And it made me nervous.... On a positive note they say that carrying a baby after that 18-24 months can actually be healthier then when your obese :-)

So I cut do the birth control pills bc not effective after the surgery.... then the ring and made me very sensitive down there....so I removed it.... I've been married for 8 yrs and had a miscarriage 4 1/2 yrs ago and we have been trying the whole marriage. It was becoming unbearable. But I decided since this birth control stuff didn't work if it's meant to be it's meant to be. I mean I've gone this long and didn't get prego....now I've found out I'm 6 weeks so excited bc it's time. I've been smaller most of my life so it's not the weight loss it's just time. Thank Jesus. My baby and I will be fine.

      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
