Re: pregnancy after wls and tummy tuck?

[Guest guest]

I wish I could help you more - I have seen only 1 person mention

this - and it was a while ago.. but they seemed just fine... said

something about there being a little more pain involved as the

stomach was stretching.. but if I remember correctly, no

complications with the pregnancy or the birth!

I have been pregnant after both WLS and tummy tuck. I did miscarriage

HOWEVER it was not due to the surgeries. It was due to other factors. My OB

is aware of the WLS -- had my first after it -- and also the TT and did not

believe it had anything to do with the miscarriage.

,

I had both and my TT was within a year and a half of my pregnancy (not on

purpose). My son was very cramped and I had pain and some other problems and

complications because of it but we are both fine now (8 months later).

Email me if you have specific questions.

How far along did you get? Enough to start showing? Did it hurt at

all?

Hi , I don't really have much advice to offer here though I wish I did

but I do know of one person who has had WLS and she had a tummy tuck and a

couple of yr.'s later had a healthy baby, healthy pregnancy, and she's just as

healthy. I do hope you get more answers.

I'm kind of confused with this post. Could you explain who you were referring

too? Sorry.

The reason I say this is because in my post to you I just said that I knew

someone that has had WLS and Tummy Tuck and a successful pregnancy and baby. Not

me personally though.

Thanks,
