Gastric Sleeve

After 9 months of TTC I decided to go ahead and get the Gastric Sleeve. My obgyn put me on all types of ovulation medication and I would ovulate but no baby. I think it was God telling me it wasn’t time. I started the process for the surgery in March and now I have a date for surgery. July 31st. Super nervous I’m going to die lol but excited that I will finally be comfortable in my own skin and have mobility again and be able to be me. And then I can finally start TTC again!!!

Everyone is on board and has been super supportive. My primary doctor, my obgyn, my weight loss surgery doctor my family and every professional I’ve seen through out the process have all been super supportive and are extremely excited for me!!! Cannot wait for this huge change in lifestyle!!

I know this isn’t the easy way out of being obese, as many people think. And I know I will thrive and eventually have my little baby and more babies in the future!!

How long do you have to wait to start ttc again after surgery? I’ve heard 2 years - is that what you were told?

My dr said 12-18 months. And once pregnant they’d give a high fat/high protein diet to follow

But that’s great that it’s not too long a wait. Hope you have the outcome you’re hoping for!

That’s crazy. I have to wait 18 months post c section I would have thought longer for a more invasive surgery
