I was 6 months out when I got pregnant with my daughter and she was healthy and I carried her to full term. I had no issues. Honestly 12-18 months is reasonable to me.

I am right there with you being sick of being sick, I am at 16 weeks and OMG. I have already been in the hospital twice due to dehydration because my body was refusing everything for a while and then i lived on milk for about 8 weeks and that was a horrible time. I had pains like you describe and we joked that because I am so sick it had to be twins lol but i'm not thankfully. I am still having issues every day with sickness and it usually wakes me up at like 4 am and it goes till about noon on and off.
Hang in there hopefully it will get better for you soon as for me I am just waiting for November when its over and I can get fixed and not do this again :) I already have a boy and girl so i am done after this lol :) Best wishes!
My heaviest was 450 lbs which a truck scale told me so in 2007 I decided I had to change. I lost about 125 lbs over the next year but in 2009 I got pregnant with my first child and took the best care of myself I knew how which lead to me losing weight and getting down to 280. But that was short lived and with in about 4 months I was back to 325 and pregnant again. I lost again but again was quickly gaining when I asked for help from my doctor. I met my bariatric surgeon for a consult on June 26 2011 and on September 13 2011 I had gastric sleeve. Since then I have lost 134 lbs and had another child. Currently I eat "Clean" and do not take any type of medication or vitamin. My body is healthy and strong, I get all the vitamins and calcium I need from my diet and my doctors are happy with my success and lifestyle changes and so am I. My goal was always to be healthy so I wanted a healthy weight based on BMI. My goal weight was 164lbs. I surpassed that and got to 150lbs but was too skinny and now am comfortable around 160.

Be sure that you are taking your bariatric vitamins. You can make adequate breast milk volume- but it might be deficient in nutrients if you are not taking your vitamins.
A great website is kellymom.com You can trust the information & they will give you the articles to back up their advice).

Sorry your not feeling well...did they check you for an ectopic because of high hcg levels? Hummmm could you be carrying twins? 
. Hope you feel better soon!
I had planned to wait 3 years after surgery before getting pregnant again but as we all know babies have their own time tables and seem to come when we think we least need them sometimes lol. But I was 18 months post op when I got pregnant (not trying) and now as I read more and more about women who have gotten pregnant after WLS I am starting to think Dr's should not be advising waiting 18 months I am starting think if I had waited another year my body might be better ready to deal with this and maybe my body would have been more healed and rested after the trauma of surgery and the weight loss.
So I was wondering if anyone else has come to this conclusion that we should be waiting longer than recommended to get pregnant?

Thank you all I feel so much better that i M not the only one who is in pain and having issues. As far as the not being able to take anything my body is not tolerating it. I am experiencing dumping if I get ANYTHING not 100% natural in my body. Honestly I am almost sure this might turn into a home birth because I cant even tolerate an IV now the plastics react with my skin and it burns and I almost had to rip the last one out if the nurse hadn't gotten there right then. I have always had sensitivity issues to things in the environment, once for a few years I would react badly to the hospital bracelets they put on you they would cause a terrible rash and burning skin). In some ways I love these sensitivities because they are forcing me to eat healthy and find alternative remedies for pain but its frustrating at times. Right now I am sick with a head cold on top of allergies so I am swallowing garlic cloves like pills to knock it out rather than making myself sicker trying to take the prescriptions I used to have to beg for (since this has been over 3 weeks now and is moving into my lungs, I am also one prone for bronchitis).Its been helping they are just hard to get down and my husband thinks i am nuts and tells me I stink LOL I would rather get better and stink as I get better than be sick for the next 3 months. I have found the Medicine shoppe Pharmacy that can make Tylenol that has noting in it but acetaminophen but its expensive so unless I am going to get relief like you would from Percocet then its not worth it. I figure now if I am going to add an artificial ingredient to my body its got to have huge benefits because the side affects are so bad.
I cant wait till the pregnancy is over and I can not be a "host" anymore lol :)
Its funny yesterday I was thinking wow when i was fat i didnt ache like this and pregnancy was easy so I guess the fat was the glue that held me together and now i got to find a new "glue" lol. Oh well I did the damage to my body with all the things I ate over my lifetime of almost 30 years and now I figure its going to take about that long for my system to heal from it.
