Like you, I definitely have some belly skin. I started showing at 4 1/2 months, when I found myself glancing at a storefront and reflected back at me was a PREGNANT WOMAN! I wonder if I'd started showing a little earlier, actually, and if it was camouflaged by the skin itself.

So, I hardly ever come here, but saw this thread and figured I'd respond because it is so relevant to me.  I had my sleeve almost 5 years ago.  Went from 219 to 136 at 6 months and then got pregnant with my second baby.  He was born 11/11 and then I lost down to 126 and stayed there for about a year.  Got pregnant twice and had early miscarriages both times, gained a few pounds.  Got pregnant again, and had my third baby in march 2014 too!  After she was born my weight was hanging out around 138 for a super long time.  Right around January, I had a friend coming from out of town and i didn't want to look like id gained a bunch of weight with the third baby so i got back on track and got back to 128.  With summer here, I have been snacking a lot less and today I'm at an all time low of 121!!  It is always amazing to know that even after 5 years, my sleeve still works when I put in the effort.  The funny thing is that I'm still so distrusting of my body.  I see the scale go down and a part of me is thinking "that was too easy, maybe I have cancer or something"  lol.  Guess the crazy never goes away!  Now I'm hoping for either a fourth baby, or some skin removal..time will decide which.  Hang in there, it will happen!

Before getting pregnant, I was 147lb (5'5") and a size 2/4. No panni, but a poofy tummy.

I noticed a definite "pop" at 17 weeks. It wasn't THAT much bigger than my stomach, which has been super comfy in the stretchy-high-waist preggo pants, but people definitely started to notice. I noticed the baby kicking a few days later.

So I have a pretty vain question for anyone who has had a child post WLS. When did you honestly start showing? 

Background info: I am 35 yrs old and 2.5 years post VSG. Highest Weight 265 Lowest Weight 130  Bounced back to very comfy 145-150 range. Like many my weight was in my belly and thighs. With all this I can say that I have a reasonable amount of belly skin. 

Present Day: I am 18 weeks pregnant with a very active little one. I have been feeling her since 14 weeks. I can see that I am pregnant but others can not. My skin is still a bit floppy around my abdomen and right now I am just curious about others experience. 

I remind you that I know this is a vain question and I know I just need to be patient. Just curious if others have experienced this. Honestly if I didn't have a slight waddle others wouldn't know.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for chiming in! I have signed up on Fertility Friend and I think that will be helpful, I feel like I might as well try everything. 

It's just sorta crazy because I have spent two years to get to this point (one year pre-op, almost one year post-op) and it's like, hey, no pressure, I just want to get pregnant NOW! But I have to be patient and not freak out.
