momwifestudent 2 Posted May 27, 2016 I am 5.5 weeks post op and I just found out that I'm pregnant. Apparently the pill doesn't absorb correctly in your body after the surgery. I'm a little nervous and really hoping that it sticks but also not anticipating it to since my body is still healing from my surgery. They're going to monitor me very closely for nutritional deficiencies and checking on the weight of the baby but other than that they think I'll be fine.

meatpie 25 Posted June 3, 2016 Hey, congrats! A friend of mine was sleeved at the same time as me... She found out 2 weeks post op that she was 10 wks pregnant!!! Woah, yep. So the big difference was that she had to really push the Protein & get energy intake up quick (lots of shakes) She had happy and healthy little girl 2 weeks ago and she lost 40kg during pregnancy 1 Countrygirl2000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the research I've done is regarding pregnancy at least 3 months out. I'm still losing weight and my midwife thinks it's fine. I've been sooooo sick though.

jasoncunningham 2 Posted June 8, 2016 My wife and I were supposed to wait 18 months after her gastric bypass to get pregnant. 6 months in she was pregnant (we found out when she went in for gallbladder surgery). We now have a beautiful brilliant 5 year old little girl. As long as they monitor you closely it will all be fine!!! Congrats!!!!!

She's very lucky everything turned out well for her and baby, all the meds they give u for surgery can't b good for pregnancy.

So the big difference was that she had to really push the Protein & get energy intake up quick (lots of shakes) She had happy and healthy little girl 2 weeks ago and she lost 40kg during pregnancy How did they not know she was pregnant before surgery? I had to do a pregnancy test not only the morning of my surgery at the hospital, but also the morning of my scope...and they knew from my medical records that I have an IUD and infertility but still had to run the pregnancy tests before they started anything.. that's just crazy. And very lucky that her pregnancy turned out ok. I would have been so freaked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meatpie 25 Posted June 10, 2016 Oh yeah, it was a BIG surprise for her and it was a real worry that she had had a general anesthesia and such a major op so early in the pregnancy. She did do a preg test and it was negative pre op.... But luckily it turned out ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
