Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 Hi MY name is kelley and i live in Boston, Mass. I just had an open RNY on October 27th 1999. Not even 5 months ago. I just today found out from my Primary DR that I am indeed pregnant. I am very upset right now but, also confused. I have called my Surgeons office and talked to the MD there and he said he was going to discuss this with my surgeon. He also said that they usally recommend you wait 2 years after a gastric bypass to get pregnant but atleast 1 year post op. Where i am only almost 5 months post op I am scared and upset and I don't know what to do. He does plan to talk to the surgeon and then get back to me but i was wondering if anyone else has gotten pregnant as soon as I did. I tottally did not plan this but it's so hard to weigh my options. Part of me is so angry because I just dropped 91lbs in almost 5 months and now this. I am also concerned that if I keep the baby that I will be putting myself and the baby at risk. I mean the whole malabsorbtion thing and the vitamins etc... Anyone out there with any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. I don't know what to do and my Primary is going to call me in the AM to discuss options... Until then i am just awaiting my surgeons office to call me back which can be who knows when. Thanks, Kelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
