VSG & PREGNANCY

So I found out why I have been so emotional lately. I am expecting a baby. I am only about 7 months post op and I am terrified!! My doctors all reassured me that I will be fine. I just need to take my vitamins and follow up with all my appointments. I am a woman of GOD so I do not believe in abortion. My question is for those post op and have been through pregnancy. Was it a terrifying experience? Did you gain a lot of weight or lose weight still? My plan is to eat a healthy diet as I have been and continue to walk daily. This blessing will not hold me back by any means. I will continue with my weight loss journey once the baby is here. Pray for me.

God has everything under control! Praying for all involved nothing but good health this day going forward!

my surgeon told me their practice has had about 60 healthy babies born sooner than expected after VSG. So talk to your doctor and believe what they say. I am sure you will do fine. Congrats.   Diane

Congrats on your pregnancy!

I was 2.5 years post-op when I found out I was pregnant. This pregnancy was not planned, I was content not having children, and I was terrified of the weight gain after losing about 150 lbs. I weighed 165 lbs at my first prenatal appointment and when I delivered my son 4 months ago, I weighed 205 lbs (a weight I never wanted to see again). So I gained 40 lbs while pregnant. The good news? My son was 100% healthy, no issues at all. AND... I was BELOW my pre-pregnancy weight within 2 weeks of delivery! My weight now fluctuates between 158 and 160 lbs! You and your little onewill be fine... this I promise! Congrats and enjoy your pregnancy! It goes fast! :)
