So I haven’t seen any threads about Weight Loss Surgery, Pregnancy and Miscarriage, so I thought I’d post my story! I am 26 years old, married mom with one 3 year old daughter! I have been overweight basically my whole life.. I started my journey back in 2011.. and it was rough to say the least.. I was 376 pounds and 6 feet tall at 18 years old. I was incredibly fortunate enough to find my husband at that time and he loved every part of me! Before we met I was on the road trying to meet the requirements to qualify for the weight loss surgery under my moms insurance.

During that time our love was so overwhelming that we ended up getting engaged 6 months after he moved in then got married 6 months after that in may of 12. Because of this, I lost my health insurance. I was devastated all my hard work was lost.. We said well since I couldn’t get the surgery lets have a baby after failing at every home diet known to man. I thought that maybe we should have babies before the surgery!? I don’t know, But i felt the need to justify our decision to everyone.. Our entire relationship we had never used a condom and I wasn’t on birth control.. It took us over a year of solid trying before we conceived our Skyler Rose in June of 13. I luckily didn’t gain any weight until the end of the pregnancy where As i gave birth I weighed my highest ever at 385 pounds. 😬 After the birth I lost about 16 pounds and I was feeling good! But it was short lived. Living 3 hrs away from family and having given birth to our first baby, and the very first grand baby I was depressed.. and that 15 pounds I lost quickly came back.

Thankfully 3 months after Sky was born we moved home and in with my In laws, who were less then pleased to have us.. Living paycheck to paycheck, with welfare, food stamps and wic we were barley making it! But we qualified for Medical insurance through the state! Yay! I started the weight loss process all over again in 2014, doing everything they asked! It took me over a year to get everything together.. Then it happened again, I lost my insurance in July of 15. I was so angry it was insane.. But! There was a silver lining! My husband got the best job ever at our local utility company! So i signed up for the most expensive, no deductible health plan I could find! Costing $980 for 3 a month. I got that in Jan of 16, and I started the process again to get weight loss surgery! They were thankfully able to take my info from both of my other insurance companies! I qualified quickly and got a Sleeve Gastrectomy in May of 16! I had lost 50 pounds on my own leaving my surgery weight at 337 pounds. It was a success! I could finally start my life! I was so happy! I immediately started losing right away but holy crap it was the hardest thing I had ever had to do! Going from being able to eat whatever i wanted whenever I wanted to about half an egg was my biggest struggle.. It was mind over matter, U had to want to make the change! And I did! I am now 15 months out and down to 234 pounds. And at 6 feet tall I’m kinda okay with this. My goal weight is 199 just to be able to say I hit the 100s! Rewind from today to March 31st 2017. My husband and I were ready to try for another baby. After a year on the IUD, and 150 pounds of weight loss we were so excited to start trying. Well we didnt have to try very hard.. I was pregnant by April 15th. Fwd to my missed period in the beginning of May and I was pregnant! We were ecstatic! We told EVERYONE at 5 weeks..

Then the blood came.. 😭 I was devastated! We had just told everyone and then to have a miscarriage I was in shock. Towards the end of it in may things where we were living got stressful, I started to believe the miscarriage happened for a reason. As much as we wanted to start trying what if it wasn’t the right time.. were spiritual people and believe it was the work of something bigger! June and July come and go with nothing.. We focused on paying bills and Moving out! Into our own very first place. It’s been amazing! One month into live in our new place and still nothing.. We wanted to start trying again! And in August we got pregnant! I am 7 weeks 5 days today and I couldn’t be happier! I feel pregnant more then I did before if thats possible! We saw the baby and it had a heartbeat of 137! 😍😍 Pregnancy after a miscarriage and weight loss surgery! We are cautiously optimistic and are holding off on

telling everyone until we’re confident this pregnancy will stay.. So stay tuned to see our pregnancy reveal!!

Anyways this ended up being so much longer then I thought so If u make it through the whole post thank you!
