Did you have an abdominal u/s?

[Guest guest]

I have not heard anything on this at all but it's okay if they are just

playing it safe. I like getting US's of the baby to see how he is.

Morning all

Just curious as to whether others have undergone abdominal

ultrasounds while pregnant/postop?

My OB mentioned that in speaking to my surgeon, it was decided that

it's a good idea to take two abdominal u/s during the third

trimester; making sure the baby/uterus hasn't came into contact with

a moved organ AND to make sure that the uterus hasn't grown up into

my intestinal area.

I've never heard of such a thing, but both explained that it happens

quite often in women that've went through the more extensive

weightloss surgeries, and that they want to keep on eye on my

abdominal area because I had complications and more than one surgery.

Then they told me not to worry, if something happens...I'll have

plenty of discomfort firt....and that the women WHO HAVE DIED from

this have usually let it go without asking for help.

I'm not worried - but this seems a little extreme! Has anyone heard

of such a thing?

I go to a high risk doctor that has treated many WLS patients and

seems as knowledgable about this as my WLS doc. I do get regular US

to check growth fluid and placenta ect. but not abdominal. It was

never mentioned to me at all - this is the first I am hearing of

this. I am now at 32 weeks so if they were planning on it they would

probabally mentioned something to me by now. I do have to admit that

I have had a very smooth uneventful pregnancy so far so maybe they

really just do not suspect any problems with me. The way I see it

though an US cant hurt and better safe than sorry so don't sweat it

unless they find a complication. It sounds like you will be well

taken care of. - Diane
