So I just found out I'm pregnant. I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. I want to start taking prenatals but I'm not sure which ones. Any suggestions? :)

Talk to your doctor. They will know what's best for you.

Talk to your doctor. I take multi-vit, Iron nd Calcium and in addition my OB had me take a folic acid + DHA in the first 2 trimesters.

Talk to your doctor. I take 2 prenatals a day along with the rest of the pills I have to take since surgery. I used to only take one as that was used as my multi Vitamin.

Congratulations!!!!!

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of looking for insurance right now. I just turned 26 so I'm not covered by my parents anymore, so I don't have a doctor yet :/

Go to a local drugstore and ask the pharmacist for help. They'll be able to help you find what you need.

Well there's not really a "bad" prenatal to take. Be warned, most of them are huge and always make me gag.

You're right. Im sure they all have the same things in them just depends on the brand you want. I take the ones from Walmart. They aren't to big and I've never had a problem with them like I have my Calcium pills.

      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.
