Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hi Dwayne!! Congrats! I haven't had surgery yet but, I am almost there. I decided that I needed to have it done because I have been big all my life and at 27 yrs old I have arthritis (I always thought of that as something old people got). My doctor told me I was in good health (no apnea, diabetes or high BP) but, that could quickly change with the amount of weight I'm carring and my husband (who is only 25) has just been put on high BP medication and i decided that one of us needs to be around to raise our children, 1 boy-5 and 1 girl-2 and he weighs almost 400 lbs and he's really not that worried about it. So I decided it was up to me. Anyway, good luck and I am very happy for you. in MI 314 pre OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi there J.Lo and welcome I had my RNY on 2-16-01 and a tummy tuck on 8-30-02. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant. I have gained between 5-7 lbs. so far........My OB said he has delivered several babies from women who have had previous tummy tucks and they've done fine. He said one lady had a tummy tuck and then got preg with TWINS.....he said after her delivery, her tummy got flat again.....so.....we will see......Mine is very tight already.....of course it was tight before I was pregnant. I just hope it doesn't burst.....I am having a c-section for many reasons.....and the tummy tuck is one reason....... As for not having energy and wanting to eat and lay down after work......ditto for me.....it's our bodies trying to adjust......plus I am 39.....so.....this ol body is wondering " what the heck " I am sure...hahaha........but my energy levels are getting better now that I am in my 2nd trimester......and the nausea is gone away finally. This is supposed to be the best trimester I am glad! Good Luck! Terri in Texas- -- In OSSG-pregnant , " J.LO " <bbw1010@y...> wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm a new member for about 3 weeks now.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Welcome! No plastics yet, waiting till after mommyhood & bfeeding to do the major overhaul. Eating: a bit of everything. I also had the 1st trimester fatigue, B12 shots helped. Stopped exercising @ around week 18, I felt totally hot all the time. Still do. Gained 12 lbs in 24 weeks. Oh & about the post delivery weight loss, I'm speculating it'll be tougher, yet manageable.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 First I would like to say hello.. I've not posted here for a long while now but I do read the post from time to time. I've had a TT and a breast reduction. I got pregnant almost a year after. I did just fine. I was also 4 years out from my WLS. I gained around 40 lbs while pregnant and still have about 20 to loose. My baby will be a year old in Oct. I did just fine after my TT getting pregnant but I did have a lot of skin on my back. After having my baby I do have a pudge but it's a tight pudge. If you would like to email me directly feel free. Kathy > Hello all, > > I'm a new member for about 3 weeks now. I have been just reading the > emails and getting to know peoples situations.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hi J.Lo and everyone, Yep, I'm one of those dreaded lurkers. Why do I lurk? Because I have so little time on the computer to read mail that I always end up behind the 8 ball with keeping up to date. A tiny tiny bit about me. I had the Lapband surgery on October 1, 2002 at 280 lbs and managed to reach my goal of 155 in January 2004 (was shooting for 158). Anyway, I decided to have the full deal and went for a tummy tuck on March 3, 2004. At which point my doctor said " Now , please wait at least 3 months before trying to possibly get pregnant " . To which I said, " Pfft, me? Pregnant? Never. Won't happen. No worries doctor! " . So 8 weeks after having my TT I found myself pregnant...to my utter shock since my husband and I have never used anything and I always thought that I was infertile. Little did I know it was due to my weight (have always been overweight). Soooo, here I am now 19 weeks and 1 day pregnant and 27 weeks out of my tummy tuck. I've heard that it should be ok and I'm sure we aren't the first ones for this to happen to. I just hope that after my baby is born that my tummy will go back to where it was beforehand. I hope so since I only got to enjoy my new bod' for two months lol. So far I've gained 10-11 lbs. I guess we'll see, eh? Sorry it's taken me this long to come out of lurkdome. Have a great Sunday everyone! in Belgium Banded: 10/01/2002 280/165/158 (was 155 and at goal before getting pregnant) EDD: January, 29, 2005 of Anja Viviane Hemelaer (ah, the middle names in Belgium are the godparents names... being my brother and Viviane my husband's sister) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
