Dianne- 9 weeks prego, 1 year out WLS, 154 pounds gone, many high...

[Guest guest]

Let me say i am 41 years old, had wls, have throid disease too and take

levothyroxin, and am on prozac and klonopin for anxiety attacks and am still

overweight since I never made it to goal. I have had gestational diabetes for my

previous babies but not this time. I feel ssoo much better with this pregnancy

than my others. I have 10 weeks left and have had NO morning sickness except a

little naseua in the beginning and NO SWELLING at all in my feet or hands or

ankles where before I could not even get my shoes and socks on at this point in

pregnancy. I did have my thyroid meds go up a bit but that is more because I

am not absorbing them well I think. The docs think I am doing extremely well

and the baby is doing awesome, a tiny big but doing well. I am going to a

regular ob who is trained in higher risk but not a high risk doc. i think you

will

do well and find this an easier pregnancy since you are so much lighter. I

think they need to redo your glucose testing. They usually do not check it in

pregnancy until 1/2 way thru. Can they give you a sugar monitor so you can test

daily at home and see how it goes. Good Luck and let us know how it goes. Oh

yeah, Congratulations on your pregnancy

God Bless,
