New to the group- Need advice

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I came from Yahoo GBIC who referred me to you when I found out I as

pregnant. I had my Gastric bypass 4/16/03 Lap. RnY- I went from 323

down to 219 as of 1/5/04(-104 lbs). That's when I stopped losing

weight and found out I was pregnant. I am now 28 weeks pregnant with

my first baby boy to be born Septmeber 26. I have some questions and

concerns:

1. I have gained about 20 lbs back and I'm worried about shrinking my

pouch back after my baby is born. Is this possible? My portions

have definetely increased from 1/2 a sandwich to 1 whole sandwich (to

give you an idea).

2. Is dumping syndrome hurtful to my baby? I suffer from this almost

3 times a week. Usually mild. I can feel my heart rate increase.

Thanks for listening.

1. My Open RNY was 1/25/00 and my stomach-holding capability was back

to normal within 2 weeks of delivery.

2. I dumped just a few times, and was told by my OB it wasn't a

problem for those few times. Ask your own OB & surgeon.

I have heard your appetite will decrease after and I am still waiting to see

for myself. i don't think dumping will hurt the baby unless you get dehydrated

yourself and that will affectt he baby. good Luck and Congratulations.
