I am not even three months out and my baby fever is off the charts! I think technically you're "supposed" to wait a year but my physician and I didn't really discuss that at the time because I had no real interest. I will however ask her about it next month because I'd like to know when I can make this happen.

Did any of you have babies earlier than you were supposed to? How long did your doctor recommend waiting?

Awe babies are cute but they sure can do some serious rearranging to your body. I would think you might want to wait awhile and let your body recuperate From this surgery. That's a good question for your surgeon! Good luck!

12-18 months is recommended. The longer you wait, the healthier your baby will be. You need lots of good nutrition for a healthy baby. Much more than your body can get just a few months out :) Best of luck to you and your growing family one day!

Take some time to get really healthy so you'll be a healthy Mommy to a healthy baby :)

I'm totally right there with you! I'm 4.5 months post op and I'm so ready to start trying! This is the biggest reason I had wls, and now that I've lost almost 70lbs, I'm ready to get pregnant!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
