1 year out and 7 months pregnant :\



Recommended Posts

This June, I will be sleeved for two years! On my 1 year anniversary of being sleeved, I got pregnant! Isn't that something? :lol: It was quite a shock, and something that I didn't plan, but a blessing nonetheless.

I've been meaning to write on here about thins for a while but have been so busy. I used to be 170 and wanted to reach a goal of 140. Well, I dreadfully checked the scale and am now a whopping 185. I've gained 15 pounds from being pregnant. I won't lie, I am depressed because of this.

Do any of you sleevers or people who have gotten a bariatric surgery in general have any advice to a pregnant sleever like me?

I am also worried about the delivery and if me and my baby will be ok during birth. My body is quite small... I haven't told my surgeon I'm pregnant either, I'm afraid of his reaction and haven't seen him since September (I still wasn't showing back then).

One year out you should be fine with the pregnancy but I would tell the doctor. I had my uterus prolapse and they fixed it with major surgery and I was pregnant within two months of surgery. But the weight can get out of hand quickly as we all know so I would ask for help.

I've spoken to my regular doctors, just not my gastric surgeon! That's so scary though. I'm glad you're all better but now I'm going to be paranoid about that lol deff will bring that up on my next visit.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
