MizzouFan1 88 Posted April 4, 2014 Hi All, I had my son when I was 25 and weighing around 260s (i am 5'9). I was young and lots more energy and weighed less then. I have been putting off other kids for numerous reasons but the major one is how physically drained I feel. I also have Hoshimoto's and PCOS. I am weighing around 285 now and just turned 30 in Feb. I have been reluctant to get pregnant again because I just can't imagine having the extra weight, the discomfort, the complications, etc. Not too include the extra weight and trying to manage two kids, house, family and career. I mean it just does not sound doable. I am supposed to be sleeved this summer. I can't help but think pregnancy and kid rearing after you lose 100lbs+ has to be easier....at least as far as energy and just movement to get up and play, etc. I play now and we do lots of stuff but it takes a toll. I feel like I am running out of time. I would likely be hitting 31 or 32 by the time I could get preggers....making my son and potential other kid 7 years apart (not ideal). END RANT! Thoughts? Was your second (third, fourth, etc) pregnancy and life easier after the sleeve and weight loss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizzouFan1 88 Posted April 5, 2014 Wow, no one has a kid since having the sleeve? Have to say I am a little disappointed that no one on this forum has offered up any advice or comments. :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cherbear33 288 Posted April 7, 2014 It is not cooperating with me tonight at all. But if you go the search section & type in pregnancy after gastric sleeve you will see a bunch pop up. Sorry I am unable to send you the link I wish my phone cooperated with me more often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cejiogu 182 Posted April 8, 2014 Just be careful just after the surgery. 50 lbs down and your chances of getting pregnant go way up. While I would like you to have another baby please try to wait a year after surgery. It's better for your body and mind. I have been sleeved for about a year but I am also an RN in labor and delivery at a hospital that handles high risk patients. You can successfully have babies after your surgery but you need to take care of you first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
