Pregnancy After Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery?



Recommended Posts

hi all - I found this site through lapbandtalk.com - I'm really considering plication and wondered if anyone knows if it's safe to get pregnant after having the plication??

I can find info on the subject under the lap band sites, but can't find anything under plication.

thanks!

All I know is what my Dr told me. Because I am in a research study here in Everett, WA, they have asked that I not get pregnant for 3 years during the study. My Dr then smiled and told me that it was best to wait at least a year after the surgery before getting pregnant again (she said it's not good to get pregnant when you are rapidly losing weight). She said I would have no problem being pregnant after the surgery. I guess it makes sense.... I couldn't eat that much when I was pregnant due to the baby squishing my stomach. The reality is that you only need an extra 300 calories a day for a growing baby. People say you eat for 2, but it's just not true. I ABSOLUTELY plan on having another baby when the time comes that I can safely get pregnant again.

I would say.... Definitely talk to your Dr about it! I am not worried at all since my Dr put me at ease about it!

thanks y'all - I feel really good about this procedure. I want to get healthier so that I can have another child - that's my main motivation at the moment. I just feel alot of pressure (self-inflicted) to get this done soon. I wish I could find a way to pay for it!

I used a 12 month interest free credit card to pay for my surgery.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
