Has anyone gotten pregnant before the 1 year of post op is up?

I am almost 9 months post op and have lost 125 lbs... I have like 75-80 lbs to lose.  I am already 40 years old, wll be 41 in December.  I used to have PCOS before surgery and never got pregnant before.  (Not that we were really trying)   All my lab tests are perfect now, before they were good..as I never even when I was at my highest weight never had an issue with diabetes or high blood pressure.  I know they suggest not getting pregnant before the year is up but lately I have been feeling like I really want to just not worry about it and it if happens, it happens.

I was with the Nuvaring for like 5 months but I really didn't care about it. Now my doctor put me on the pill (my choice) but haven't started it yet since it was between periods..

Have any of you gotten pregnant before the year is up? I would like to read some stories...Please.

Thank you! :-)

I was pregnant with the lap band.  Everything went fine.  I had an appt with my surgeon to discuss what I needed to make sure to do.  She told me to make the most nutritious food choices, vitamins and only consume an extra 200-500 calories/day.  She said most people use pregnancy as an excuse to eat for two but a healthy pregnancy doesn't need that much! 

I was told not to get pregnant before 18 months post-op but if you feel you would be safe and healthy go for it... It's  your body....

I got pregnant at 11 months post op. I have PCOS and had never been pregnant. After surgery I tried BCP but I bled for like 2 months so I stopped them and we didn't use any for of birth control b/c I guess in my mind it just wasn't gonna happen. I lost 100 lbs and got very close to my goal ( I was at my surgeons goal) and it just happened we weren't trying weren't timing nothing. So as of now I am 22 weeks pregnant and doing fine. My weight loss had kinda come to a stand still and I was only losing like a lb here and there so no one was too concerned. I would say it is definatley possible ( never would have felt this way if it hadn't happened to me) and I say when your weight loss steadies go for it if thats what you want. I have heard of people getting pregnant 5 even 3 months after surgery and having little to no complications and having health babies. P&PT's.

I was about to asks the same question just a little different. One of the main reason I chose lap band at first is because I'm not done having children...or as of right now I don't think I am. Is it really safe to get pregnant after having the RNY? How do they go about doing that with such a little pouch? Just another question of the top of my head.

I had 2 perfectly healthy pregnancies after my RNY.  I got pregnant the 1st time at 16 months post op and the 2nd time at 3.5 years post op.  I took 2 prenatals, calcium, B complex & sublingual B12.   As far as food went I made sure that I ate something either a meal or a snack about every 3 hrs or so.  I gained 30lbs with my 1st pregnancy & my daughter weighed 6lb 3oz and my 2nd pregnancy I gained 28lb and my 2nd daughter was 7lb 12oz, both babies were born term at 39w.

I didnt have RNY, but from what I hear it is perfectly safe. You just have to make sure you always eat QUALITY foods. A friend of mine got preggo at about 8 months out, she had a 7 lb baby and they both did/are doing just fine.

I know plenty of ladies who've gotten pregnant before the year mark and had perfectly healthy babies.  Check out the post op pregnancy board for some awesome stories.  Good luck!

If you go to the pregnant after WLS boards there are several women who've gotten pregnant not long after WLS ! They are VERY helpful too!!

plenty of women have gotten pregnant before the year mark, including me! lol i am just shy of the 10 month mark and i am 6 weeks preggo!
As for being ready? only you and your doctor can really decide that! i have read where woman have had their surgeons tell them to go ahead and try eventhough they had yet to reach the recommended 18 months-2year mark. I would definitely get together with an RE and have them work together with your surgeon to decide what is best for you!
best of luck with no whatever you decide =)
