Re: I'm pregnant

, you are NOT alone. There is a group I am going to give you the link

to that is for Gastric bypass patients who got prego after, even early like

you and all has been well. I am currently 32 weeks but i was 1 yr postop when i

got prego and I was not the most fertile person in the world either. had many

years of infertilty and treatments before conceiving my first babies. Now i

have been pregnant 2 times since surgery, the first was a miscarraige but got

rpego again within 3-4 months. You can still do quite well. Make sure to get in

your vitamins for sure, get in 800 mcg folic acid to help prevent birth

defects, take your calcium and b-12 and usually the ob will give you an

additional

prenatal to take on top of all your regualr things and they do have chewable

prenatals so ask about them. ANd then juste at the best healthy things you can.

You will probably continue to lose weight right straight thru this but the

baby will get his/her nourishment from you first and you get whats left so baby

should be fine, you may get a bit tired but that is normal. here is the link

to the group you should join OSSG-pregnant-subscribe . Good luck

with everything.
