post op moms - Did you have to have a c-section?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 16 months ago, laparoscopic surgery - no complications. I also had a prior laparoscopic surgery to remove my gall bladder back in 2006.

Does having prior laparoscopic abdominal surgery mean you HAVE to have a C-section? I'd love some feedback from any ladies who became mothers after their sleeves - did you have natural childbirth? If not, was the prior sleeve surgery the reason you couldn't give birth naturally?

I really want vaginal delivery!

Thanks for the feedback!

Hello,

I am not a mommy yet but in the process lol I am currently 4 months 1 day and my doc is aiming for me to have a natural vaginal delivery, no C-section (unless something comes up and it is needed but not sleeve related). :)

I just delivered my baby 4 weeks ago via csection. I'm almost 2 years out from having my sleeve. This was a repeat Csection so totally not related to my sleeve. To answer your question having gastric sleeve doesn't mean you'll have to have a CS to deliver your baby.

I would assume that the stomach has nothing to do with your uterus. Kind of why I don't think my OB needs to know about my surgery.

      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.
