I have never thought about doing scar removal I thought it would just add more scar tissue.. I am having a c section due to my enlarged spleen they think I have a inflamation or infection and I have chronic neck and shoulder pain.. I think physically a c section makes more sense.
I had VSG, but I think at my Hospital, they will suggest you wait at least 18 months after any surgery before becoming pregnant. I'm 2 years out now and 5 weeks pregnant :)
As it turned out, my daughter was 6lbs 15 oz at birth and very healthy (Apgar score of 9!). She's now 2 months old and on the small side, but it's genetic -- not related to my bariatric surgery. She's very healthy and growing at a perfect rate!
How long after wls should you wait to get pregnant I had rny bypass

Hi ladies, im 3 years post sleeve and 2 years post panni surgery. Im 2 months pregnant which was planned but scared to death about weight gain and have already been classified high risk with many past surgeries and tons of scar tissue.
My appetite has increased big time but still have some restriction I can feel. I want a healthy baby but have already gained 14 pounds!!!! I guess after the baby is here time will tell but im trying hard not to gain so much weight.
Looking to hear from you your stories post panni or tummy tuck. Wondering if I will need a revision??
It depends. Your doctor will have to take several things into account... what type of surgery did you have, do you have a history of diabetes or gestational diabetes, and what they're comfortable with overall. I hated the test with my first pregnancy (pre wls) and used my surgery as an "excuse" to try to get out of it when I had my second baby. Doctor suggested doing a two hour test where I basically just had to have a normal breakfast and then get my levels checked two hours later. It was sooooo easy, no waiting, and best of all, no nasty drink! He said if it came back high or inconclusive we'd have to do the standard test, I was willing to risk going back. Luckily everything was great and I didn't have to do anything else. With this pregnancy, I've had issues with low blood sugar and just did the same two hour test. Numbers came back pretty low so it was a total non issue after that. So, basically yes, there are alternatives, you just have to talk to your doctor and find out what they're comfortable with. Good luck!
Sorry you're having so much trouble. I'm 35 weeks into my second post sleeve pregnancy and haven't had any issues (I know, not helpful). Have you seen your surgeon at all during this, or just your OB? Can they remove some of the scar tissue surgically, perhaps even at the same time as your c-section to reduce the number of surgeries you end up with? I'd try to get my OB and Bariatric doc talking to see if something could be done collaboratively when you have the baby since they'll have you open on the table anyway. Might make for a more difficult recovery, but I'd imagine it would have to be easier than two separate recoveries. They would obviously have to use general rather than an epidural, so you wouldn't be able to see the baby right away, but if they thought they could fix your issues, it seems like a decent trade off. What is the reason for the c-section any way? Either way, good luck! Hope you get some answers and relief soon!!
So I have had the worst pregnancy with my gastro system. I had a ton of scar tissue pains as she got bigger and more moving. I would be on the floor some nights. Go to the er everything was normal. Two weeks ago my tummy has stopped processing red meats and I have a enlarged spleen. They can't find out what's going on till I have the baby. Scheduled for a c section on the 24th. I am going crazy trying to find food to eat I am on the soft calorie diet. Everything is painful. Anyone else have these issues during pregnancy. Baby is healthy. I just want to know I am not alone and if anyone has had any success in fixing these issues. Sleeve is so touchy! I had complications from the beginning and no I don't have my gallbladder. So I have had 3 tummy surgeries too. Which scar tissue is a issue.
I have had good sugar test so far but I do feel my sugar dropping. Please tell me i am not the only one dealing with this. I had PCOS prior to getting pregnant and got pregnant out of the blue such a wonderful miracle. I know i am at the end but I would love to some advice and encouragement and maybe someone who has gone through all this. thanks.
I had my first IUI on January 5th, and it succeeded. I had my RNY in NOv. 2008.
I think the one thing I would add is to switch your multivitamin to a prenatal. If you get one with DHA it can help with depression.
