Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hello, I am brand new to this board, and am here to learn as much as I can before I become pregnant. My fiance and I (getting married in August) are hoping to get pregnant very soon after our wedding. I had gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago, and plastic surgery (tummy tuck/breast reduction) a year and a half ago. I lost 120% of my excess weight, and at one point, a year ago, was considered underweight. I am at a healthy weight now (130-135 lbs on my 5'6 " frame). One of the main reasons I got down so low is that I've had a lot of trouble eating since my surgery. For some reason, I just can't seem to eat much at one sitting. I still vomit fairly often (once every week or two), not from overeating, but because the food " just doesn't work. " Also, I've developed a problem with acid reflux since my bypass surgery. My fiance is very concerned about my nutrition now, and is especially worried about what might happen during a pregnancy. He's concerned about a baby, but even more concerned about my health. I try to tell him that everything will be ok, but honestly, I'm a little worried too. I have low blood pressure and sugar levels, and have been anemic off and on. Just wondering at this point, if there's any information out there that I can share with Jim to relieve some of his anxiety. We are going to meet with my gastric bypass surgeon next week, and an ob soon thereafter. However, hearing from " those who've been there " will be very helpful, I'm sure. Thank you so much for your time and for any help you can provide. Callie B (and Jim too) ~) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
