I am 20 weeks pregnant and getting my GB out this Friday. I don't think you need to wait years to get pregnant. Maybe a few months just to let your body recover from surgery, but my midwife told me I will be fine to continue on to have an all natural home birth as planned. This is my fourth baby and I " m 33. She said this happens sometimes in pregnancy and the outcome is great. I have had 6 attacks in 10 weeks. I did somehow pass one stone (had an ultrasound at 10 weeks) but there is still at least one in there that they can still see. I am following an extremely strict diet, exercising, and taking the right supp's, and still having attacks. I'm so depressed at all the foods I can't eat when I have such bad cravings and ravishingly hungry. I'm not getting enough nutrition for me or the baby and I'm afraid if I wait any longer, I won't be able to have the surgery and when I get bigger, I don't know how I'll be able to breathe during an attack with my belly being so big. Right now, I can't even talk during an attack and I am gasping for breaths. It wasn't an easy decision, but we all have to make our own decisions based on our instincts and how we feel. I wish I had done it sooner. I'm only 5'2 and 106 lbs right now. The surgeon said he would do it b/c of the desperation in my eyes and that I looked like I could use a good meal. Yes, please! I'm not going to go crazy. I can't eat gluten, dairy, or eggs anyway but give me some chicken! I know it's not guaranteed that I'll be able to eat more freely, but every person I've talked to (and it's a lot) has been able to go back to eating whatever they want. I did read in one book to take B-12 after GB surgery for some reason. I can't remember the other supp. Ask you dr. when you can take supp's again. It shouldn't be too long. Hope your recovery goes well. Sheri http://allnaturalmo mof3.blogspot. com Mark 10:27 " Jesus said to them, " With man this is impossible, but not with God. With God, all things are possible.
