Shalonda,

Give it some more time.

RIght now you are in shock.

I didn't think I would be able to get pregnant from complications but sure

enough, now I would not trade it for the world!

You are in my prayers,

I have seen many on this group become suddenly fertile after this surgery. I

just warned a friend who does NOT want anymore tog et on something because she

is getting hte surgery next month and her OB told her she did not need

anything because of PCOS too and I forwarded her a couple letters from expecting

new

mommies who had it too and she is getting on something. I think you will be

fine, exspecially since you wanteed babies. it just takes a bit of getting

adjusted to it. I was told I could not have any after years of infertility and

when i ddi get pregnant I don;t think it ever really sank in until I gave birth.

Eat as well as you can and take all your vitamins and ask your doc about

prenatals and folic acid. i take ALL of them and you should do just fine. Youare

not too early post op for babies, many come here just a couple months out of

surgery. i wish you all the best of luck and welcome to the group. And

Congratulations

God Bless,

Shalonda,

Your story is so close to mine!! I got pregnant 13 months post-op, not planned

unmarried. I only gained 2 pounds during my pregnancy. The baby gained and I

maintained my weight. 4 hours after delivery I was down 14 pounds. You will do

fine, your boyfriend is supportive and that is really important. My boyfriend

and I were already having problems when I conceived and things just didn't work

out. I am now married and have had another child. Good luck and know there are

people here for you!!!

Needing some support here

Hello everyone,

Hi, my name is Shalonda and I am new to this group. I had RNY on

9/11/03 and so far I have had a very sucessful losing period. I have

gone from a tight 26/28 to a nice 10 and very happy. I just started

to see the plastic surgeons for consults on reconstructive surgery.

But much to my suprise I am 6 weeks pregnant. This was not planned. I

am not married (but was planning on getting engaged in June). I am so

scared. Just 7 months post op and knocked up. I have seen my GYN doc

on Friday to reconfirm the test and yep it was most certainly

positive. Ironic, I use to sit and cry because I thought I would

never have kids (complications from obesity, with poly cystic ovary

disease and having lost an ovary 6 years ago) and now I am sitting

here crying because I am pregnant. I want to have kids just didnt

think it would happen like this. Abortion is not an option for me. I

dont believe in it. My boyfriend has been extremely supportive and

helpful with the news. Although we have only had a few days to get

use to it.

So gang, any help/advice/support is greatly appreciated. I do have my

appointments to see the OB and the specialist group (for high risk

patients). They are going to have a special nutritionist follow me.

I just wanted to check in and get some help. ~thanks~ Shalonda
