Well my OB is watching my blood super close and we have extra ultrasounds to watch babies growth. Also OB basically threw my diet out the window for now because I am super sick he wants me to "eat whatever goes down" I am trying to stay with healthier choices but I have my mini twix here and there...

I see my surgeon every 6 weeks to make sure everything is still healing right and he agreed with the OB saying eat ehat goes down. I am still losing about 5lb/week but baby is growing right on track so the OB isnt worried. They think I might gain about 5lb later but probably not much more than that and after baby I will still be lower than when I got pregnant. We were using condoms and a vaginal contraceptive film as back up and they both failed.

I was only 5 months post op and for pregnant ) lost the same amount of weight too! Pregnancy went well, and I'm still losing!! So go for it, getting pregnant was my reason to get the VSG!! Don't let anyone tell you not to get pregnant, if you want to just do it!!

I was told to wait 2 years

I was told to wait 18 month's..but a friend was told 6..im 5 months out n almost 5 weeks pregnant..

They say 2 years to wait ideally. 1 year is the minimum they want you pregnant. I was told the baby will be fine but you can get sick from deficiencies and you will not loose as much weight right off the bat. After the baby weight loss continues though...

On that note my sister in law had gastric bypass and got pregnant 2 months out. The baby was perfectly fine and she needed a few shots for Vitamins but was healthy too. She had really low blood pressure through out though.

Hey b mamachef..if you have FB add me crosa0012@aol.com

I was wondering the same thing.....my ob/gyn has me on bc for 2 months to get my cycle on track and then she is going to give 6 months of trying to get pregnant before referring us out to a specialist. This will make me 15 months out, before we are able to start trying. I'm hoping it happens pretty fast, because I have endometriosis and adenomyosis, so my periods are very painful and heavy.

My dr said 2 years as well, I'm done having kids but a few girls asked as that was their main reason for needing to lose weight as with many I have seen on here.
