Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 hi all, i'm new here. i just had gastric bypass- rouen y procedure on march 12th 2004. well yesterday on june 17th 2004, we found out i was pregnant. we weren't trying, but we were preventing either. hubby has had fertitliy problems and with me just having surgery i guess i jsut didn't think it was a possiblility. anyway, so i'm 3 months post-op, have lost 83 lbs, and have no desire to eat. dr says the baby will be fine, it will get all it's nutrition out of me, it's me i need to worry about. also, i was already high risk...after 3 miscarriages, i finally gave birth in 99 to a live healthy baby, but i had complications from the csection and have lots of scar tissue, from it, they didn''t even know if i could even become pregnant after benjamin (born 4 years 8 months ago), so i can and i'm happy and ecstatic. i announced the pregnancy, asking for prayers and thoughts to my other groups and this lady shari told me about this group, sooooooo, here i am...has anyone else gotten pregnant before a year, or so soon after the surgery? can you tell me your experiences? thank you, jennifer (aka mom2ben99-who is eating vitamins like they are going out of style and trying to eat more).

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hi !! congrats on both your weight loss AND your pregnancy!!! That's awesome!! How far along are you officially??? There have been women on here you are in the same boat as you are - and they are doing JUST wonderfully!!!! I was 7 months out when I got pregnant... so I wasn't quite a year out - but I have been taking my vitamins and eating lots of small meals and drinking tons of water and my levels are fantastic! It's great that you have a doc who's so positive!! I am really happy for you guys and will definately keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
