gastric sleeve and pregnancy.

Maggie
Hey ladies and mommies to be! Has anyone else had a Bariatric surgery then fell pregnant? I had a gastric sleeve done in February 2016, and became pregnant at the end of September; I am currently 17 weeks. My husband and I defiantly were not trying we wanted to wait the safe 18mo before trying, I guess God had other plans. Anyway, I am curious if other mothers have had surgery and what they have done. Have you seen a change in your eating? How did you recover after pregnancy? Were you able to lose weight again? I am nervous I'm eating too much,(to streatching or tearing the sleeve) but I have only gained 9lbs since I found out October 7th. I was six weeks at the point. I know gaining weight is a part of being pregnant, but I'm hoping I'm not doing damage to my stomach as far as eating goes. But I also will not deprive my growing baby of nutrients. So far my blood work has come back all positive, baby is growing and moving with a strong heart beat. Any help would be great!!
