Recommended Posts

Congrats!!! I am so happy for you. everything works on Gods clock!!!

I haven't had my surgery yet but After I had my daughter (7 years ago) they told me I would never have more children. It would be 1 in a million that I would be able to conceive. I went crazy trying everything, ( looking back I feel so bad for my husband having to deal with me ) I finally gave up and left it in Gods hands and 3.5 years later I had my son and 2 years after that I had my third child.

I had a PCOS surprise baby 14 years ago after going super low carb and losing 60 pounds. I was convinced I had a hangover that lasted 3 weeks from drinking 2 glasses of wine! :)

Congratulations!

Ladies if you have POSTS the sleeve is a miracle "cure". I am proof. I was diagnosed in my late teens and struggled infertility since my husband and I started trying for a child in 2006. It took 3 years of fertility drugs and procedures to finally end up with our son. He was a miracle. We soon came to the realization that he would be an only child and we were "OK" with that. Fast forward to Nov 2012. I got sleeved at a whopping 300 lbs. I lost quickly and look and behold the 1st month after surgery i started my cycle! Most women dread this, but not me. I was thrilled that I might be normal and actually feel like a women. As the months passed and my monthly visitor became a perfectly timed occurrence, we started discussing the possibility of trying for another. Went to the OBAMA and has ultrasound to see if I has cyst and there were NONE! Only scars from old ones. We discussed fertility drugs with her and she suggested we try unassisted for 6 MO the before we start them. Uuuggghh, I just knew that I was wasting 6 months because there was no way it was going to be that easy. Hahaha jokes on me. First month of trying, boom I got a positive on a home pregnancy test. What!?!? Blood test confirmed the positive. This was real. my OB immediately scheduled me for ultrasound (since she was just as amazed as I was and due to advanced maternal age 35 and pcos there were other factors that put me in a high risk category). My husband and I go and ultrasound shows a healthy 7 week pregnancy to TWINS!!!!!! OMG. So yes I have 11 month old twins, have hit my goal weight and am maintaining perfectly. Praying for all of you to have similar success. This surgery has changed my life. Not just weight and physical health but mental health (although with a 5 year old and a set of 11 month old twins my mental health status is questionable! :) )

I tell my surgeon every time I see him "Thank you for giving me my life back". Miracles do happen and prayers are answered. If any of you have any questions about pregnancy and the sleeve please do not hesitate to ask.

      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.
