Hi everyone,

I am pregnant after having vsg on June of last year. I am happy but also very nervous. Any of you like to share your experience with pregnancy after vsg. I just feel like this will be totally different from my last pregnancy because I am older and I now have the sleeve.

Also I hear a lot of people saying that we’re told not to get pregnant until about 12 to 18 months post op. So I want comments from those who got pregnant sooner than that time frame as well.

Thanks in advance!

ive seen people on here get pregnant just a few weeks after surgery. If you use the search bar and type in pregnant you can probably find those post and speak with those that did get pregnant.

There are people who have posted that they got pregnant on here but I don’t think many stuck around cause I never really heard anymore from them. First off, congratulations. I would contact my team and let them know I was pregnant and speak frequently with the nutritionist to make sure you are eating the right things for you and baby.

Hi Crystalmoon,

I just sent you a private message. Looks like we are in a similar boat. Also found out I was pregnant at the 8 month mark. It looks like we have very similar stats too and Im also an educator! Weird! I'd love an update on how everything is going with you. Check out my pregnancy post.

Hope to hear from you soon!

      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
