shericrazylady 113 Posted July 18, 2017 I had struggled with falling pregnant for around 4 years did anyone's fertility improve after surgery did you fall pregnant when you couldn't before? Sent from my A1601 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwoman77 9 Posted July 18, 2017 i was menopausal. Not a concern or issue for me. Thank God. The morning sickness would have really been even more awful after the sleeve. It felt like morning sickness for two years all day long. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwoman77 9 Posted July 18, 2017 I have known of ladies though that after losing a lot of weight got pregnant very easily One lady got pregnant immediately after being on Opti fast and losing over 80 lbs. I do believe that losing weight helps with fertility and especially after being on a Protein Shake fast. I wouldn't think it'd be advisable to get pregnant within the first year after the sleeve. But that should be a question for your doctor to answer. I would think that if someone had the gastric bi pass surgery that the baby might not get the proper nutrition or probably the mother would suffer with malnutrition most likely. Again follow your doctors advice I am glad i did this after i had all my children. I wouldn't have wanted to risk this ...getting pregnant after surgery.

Thanks I'm aware that I shouldn't get pregnant during the first year as my spealist advised me I was just wondering because I'm curious to see how people went about it and what there outcome was if it made a difference etcSent from my A1601 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Gwoman77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missy161 395 Posted July 19, 2017 I struggled with infertility in my 30's - I lost weight and started ovulating again and was able to get pregnant. That was long before my vsg surgery , but I wanted to encourage you. Being overweight can cause polycystic ovaries and losing weight can resolve that issue. In my case I only had to lose 20 pounds to get my ovaries working again! I now have 4 beautiful kids!Good luck! Mich WHw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GotProlactinoma 458 Posted July 21, 2017 The form I signed before getting sleeved yesterday had on it to be aware that fertility can be very high after sleeving. And the nurse said she had 4 patients recently who got pregnant without trying. 1 shericrazylady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My surgeon recommends switching to a barrier method like IUD until your weight is stable. I have an IUD but I'm so anxious about getting pregnant I'm trying to convince my husband to get a vasectomy lol. (Not planning to have kids.) So far he's a no go. Hopefully the IUD does the job! 2 shericrazylady and Funky_Brewster reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
