I know a couple of women who got sleeved and then got pregnant right away, but I'm not sure how old they are. We keep toying with the idea. But I'm 43 now and our youngest is 2 and I'm so much more tired now than I was with our oldest, who is 11. I have an appt with my obeys to discuss more long term bc because the part of me that wants another baby is a little bit crazy!

I am only 2 months out and I just found out I'm pregnant at 40 after having unprotected sex only once! Definitely a surprise but a welcomed surprise. My last child is 9 and was conceived with fertility meds. We tried for a fourth child about five years ago but never got pregnant.

Thanks for your replies. My hope is to get pregnant after surgery. I'm 43 and no children, married 9 years.

I'm 39 right now, and hoping to convince my husband to have one more kid once my weight stabilizes. Which would mean I'd deliver around age 40. Not sure I can sell him on it, but hoping to!

I'm 42, almost 3 years out and pregnant with our first. If you get yourself healthy, it can happen.

My mother was not a bariatric patient, but she became pregnant with my youngest brother when she was 44. For the first five months she thought she was going through the change. Then the change started to kick!

Forgot to update! I got pregnant on the first cycle we tried, and am now 8 weeks pregnant! (well, 8 weeks tomorrow, lol). I got pregnant exactly 1 year from surgery, and two months after my 40th birthday.

        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!

      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
