Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Hi Katharine, it is really not muich different as before surgery. You will probably have a easier healthier pegnancy this time around thanks to weight loss. This is my first after surgery baby and i haven't swelled at all in my hands and feet where the others it was terrible and i even had to have my rings cut off. Just be sure to take all your vitmains and eat as well as possible and snack some healthys tuff in between. Start yourself on some folic acid now to help pevent birth defects and keep all your prenatal appts. Good Luck to you and hubby.

I feel so much different and better. In fact... I can actually FEEL my uterus this time!! I am just hoping and praying for a " take home " baby this time.

New Member: TTC Good morning all! I've just become a member of the group this morning! My name is . My hubby and I are trying to get preggers (my term for pregnant). I had RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery on Jan. 29th '03. I've lost almost 175 lb. We have just begun trying to conceive and are extremely excited! We have a 3 year old and are ready to add a brother or sister to our family. I am looking for advice and support as until now I have not been able to find very much information on pregnancy after WLS. I look forward to hearing from others.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Thanks for responding! I'm here in Virginia and I'm married w/ one girl Kayla who's just 3 1/2 years old. We are hoping to get preggers right away. This is something I have been wanting forever it seems like. I am very excited! Congratulations to you and your family. I wish you well. Good luck to you as well. I think you'll do just fine. Keep me posted. I am hoping that things will go all right with this pregnancy. Although now that I've lost nearly 175 lb. I feel like maybe it's a different game altogether. I had Kayla 2 1/2 months early and she weighed just 1 lb. 14 oz. She was in the NICU from January 20th to March 18th. I was due April 5th so she came home a bit before her due date. At first after GBS my hubby and I were thinking no way are we having any more kids but now we've decided it's a great thing to do.
