Question how long after WLS did you get pregnant?

I was wondering after your WLS when did you get pregnant? I know they say its critical to have a baby before your 2 years are up for you body to settle at a weight. Has anyone become pregnant a month or so after your surgery? And if so what did you do? The reason I am asking is because well me and hubby do use protection and one time the condom fell off inside me. I was suppose to get my monthly on Friday and well here it is wednesday now. Well every morning I have been waking up feeling sick and dry heeven and then it goes away. Could i be pregnant?

Whoopsie!!!  I got pregnant 4 months post op.  I hadn't lost weight in almost 1.5 months though.  We tried for 8 years to get pregnant and after surgery, we forgot the condom ONCE.  I would test and find out soon so you can up your calories and do what you need to do in case you ARE pregnant.  I wish you lots of luck!!

No suggestions on getting pregnant that early out, but I would go take a prengnacy test like now, if you are, you need to know right away so you can start eating more.  Let us know and good luck!

I agree. I'd take a test now.  if its negative that doesn't mean you aren't pregnant but there would be a good chance it would show up now if you are.

I was about 7 months out and just didn't use my birth control properly and we only used the one method.

a friend of mine was pregnant less than 2 months out.  she continued to lose another 60 lbs and had a perfectly healthy little boy.

I was in between birth controls and we were depending on condoms and the dang thing fell off for the first time in my life! We ran to Walgreen's and got the morning after pill - only because I was only 2 1/2 mo. post op. Well here we are 21 weeks pregnant. Our oops happened 14 days after I had started my last period so I' not surprised that I got pregnant. Maybe try to do the math and see what the odds are that you were ovulating at that time. I tested 2 or 3 days before I was to get my period so you could always just test. If you are pregnant it's not the end of the world! I just wanted you to know that. Good luck and keep us posted!!

Thanks for all the responses and I am going to be getting a pregnancy test right away and I am going to be testing. I understand it is not good and like some of you had said its not the end of the world..I am just worried about my health with  me and the baby if I am.

I didnt try to get pregnant until I came to a stable weight, I had my surgery 10/2006 and got pregnant 4/2009.... So, I'm sorry If I was not of any help, just wished I would have lost a little more weight before I started to concieve. Good luck, and everything will be okay!

Yeah I understand. I am not trying to get pregnant though.  I am actually praying that I am not and my period is not here and well I have not ever heard of someone missing their period after WLS unless ur prego right? I mean I have been on time even before surgery. All of a sudden I have not gotten my period yet so I am thinking I am pregnant. I know there was a time the condom fell off inside me the one time we had sex.

9 months post op

Baby is growing fine!!
I would TOTALLY take a test!!
GOOD LUCK & keep us posted on the results!!
