Pregnant With Sleeve Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Anyone had issues with the staples detaching after becoming pregnant. A bit worried getting pregnant after having my sleeve done. I wouldn't want the baby and I in danger if the staples become loose and it cause a leakage. Can this happen?

I haven't heard of that happening.

I thought your stomach starts to heal over your staples so I don't think there's the possibility of it causing a leal after your stomach heals.

I'd ask your surgeon and see what he thinks

Best of luck :-)

My doctor told me to wait a year and everything would be fine.......

We had a MAJOR birth control FAIL!!! First time we had set after surgery we got pregnant even with 2 forms of birth control... I am 17 weeks now and there hasn't even been a mention of the staples being a concern and I am ALWAYS emailing my surgeon and his staff asking questions.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
