New To list : Questions...

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I just found this list today, and am trying to decide if I should

wait until I have a second child to have RNY, OR have RNY, wait a

year and have another child. PLEASE feel free to email me with your

opinions, advice, concerns etc.

Other questions that have arisen as I read your posts:

(these are all referring to post op women)

1. Are there any studies or surveys that show the rate of

miscarriages, low birth rate, or birth defects in post-surgery

pregnancies?

2. Are there any of you post-op who had terrible morning sickness

during pregnancy, and can constant vomiting do damage to your " new "

stomache?

3. If the risk of miscarriage is greater due to insufficient

nutrition, is it possible to take extra prenatal vitamins, or drink a

supplement like Ensure or Boost to avoid it?

4. Have any of you experienced, or heard of, hernias or other damage

done to the surgically altered stomach by pushing during labor?

5. Is it possible to nurse a baby without him/her getting

malnourished from poor maternal nutrition?

Thanks for your patience and any comments you may have.
