4 months post op and I'm pregnant



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 months post op and just found out I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. This will be my third child and in no way was this planned. I'm very worried! I'm worried about having a healthy baby and if my body can even handle this?!?!

I got pregnant 2 months post op... It.has been hard on me because ive had such horrible morning sickness and definitely havent been able to get my Protein or anything to stay in! My baby is fine though, Im just suffering. I didnt plan getting pregnant so soon as this is my first child.. And after everything saying negative for 3 yrs and fertility drs I really didnt think it would be so quick!

I have had such a ruff time since finding out I'm pregnant. I will be 6 months post op this month and I'm 14 weeks pregnant. I've been in the hospital 2 times for nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. Now I'm currently on a reflex medication along with 2 nausea meds. I've had nausea since being sleeved and since becoming pregnant it's gone 10 times worse. I'm seeing my OB doctor every 2-3 weeks and they are monitoring me very closely. So far the baby is doing fine so blessed for that:) I wish all of you best of luck! Let's stay in touch ladies.

I got pregnant 3 weeks after being sleeved. Yeah am not sure exactly how all that worked out. Anyways I am 28 weeks now yes vomiting was bad in the first trimester but i try hard to keep up with hydration. I have lost 30lbs since i found out and my baby is measuring ahead. I am on acid reflux meds because i have it bad but i did have it before baby. Nausea is tolerable you will get used to it! Congrats

I got pregnant 2 weeks after being sleeved. During the pregnancy I lost about 50lbs. Some of the docs were worried because I was so ill and my food intake was limited. Just eat right when you can. Usually the baby won't go without because it takes from you and whatever you have stored.

I ended up with an 8lb, 8oz perfectly healthy boy. There's not AS much to worry about with a sleeve compared to the bypass.

And don't let them tell you that because you're sleeved you have to have a c-section. I've heard if people being told that.

How has your pregnancy gone so far? How many days late where you before you tested?

I'm a little worried too. I still haven't started my period and I'm 3 days late. My man and I never use protection at all.

I'm having a girl and she is doing great and her growth is right on track! I will keep everyone posted on weigh loss/grain. I hope the rest of you are doing good☺️

      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
