Pregnant and looking for sleeve friendly OB

how exciting that your sleeve wants to keep tabs. i'd use that help if it was me. horrible about the m/s hope it gets better

Thanks, I am now 13 weeks and have had bad m/s for the last seven so the weight loss is going great again! I spoke to my surgeon and he is beside himself happy as I am apparently the first pregnant sleever he has had - he's done heaps of sleeves but mostly caters to the older and male demographic by the sound of it.

I found an OB and have my first appointment with him this week. I also have the letter from my surgeon for him and he has offered to "co-care" if he is interested. It all seems rather excessive but he was so enthusiastic I couldn't say no, so I'll see what the ob says. He wants me to see him every couple of months and visit the dietitian more regularly which seems like a great idea, but apparently they will just look at upping my intake by eating more regularly.

I have found that between the m/s and the hormones it feels like my sleeve has reset and I can only fit in the small amounts I could 3-6 months after surgery. I am sure once everything lets up I'll be back to normal, but it has been weird to say the least.

So ladies if you have a weight loss stall maybe consider getting knocked up!

Pierced congratulations to you too! I hope everything is moving along smoothly.

Im 26 weeks pregnant at the moment and its been an interesting ride!

No problems with the sleeve- just been able to eat so much more food. But I am over 2 years out so that probably is playing a part too.

Hi slimmer

Can't offer advice on an OB but just wanted to wish you congratulations and all the best with your pregnancy and your search for an OB.

congrats.

have you contacted your surgeon as they might know a few

Congrats on the pregnancy! I can't help with OBs but I would love u to keep us updated how u go, I'm 25 and just sleeved and looking to have kiddies in the next 2-3 years and wonder how pregnancy works with the sleeve.

Goodluck and hope you find the right OB :)

Congratulations!!! If You were on the central coast NSW I could recommend the perfect ob, Dr John Bailey. I Hope all the melbourneites send you their recmmendations. Good luck with the pregnancy and I can't wait to here how it all goes xx

Okay I have been in complete denial the last few weeks but apparently I am pregnant. I am now at the stage (well, actually long past) where I am suppose to be choosing an OB as I am planning on going private considering my patchy fertility history and the sleeve. I do have a specialist gynae who is looking after me until I make a decision so I am well covered there, he just no longer delivers babies.

Has anyone had a baby in Melbourne and used an OB who has some clue about the sleeve or should I go and see my surgeon and continue to seperate out the sleeve and the pregnancy?

As you may be able to tell by this post I am in a bit of a flap - my first and only child is nearly seven and we thought she would be it. Thank you (at the moment with all day morning sickness I curse you) sleeve!
