Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I just wanted to say that I had my Gastric bypass on Feb 23, 2004 and I got pregnant in June. So I was about 4 months out. My surgoen was non thrilled with me but it was an acident. We werent trying. The hardest part has been trying to get enough food in. I am takin g my vitamens. And drinking lots of water. So far I am 12 weeks along and have heard the heart beet at the 10 week check up and the baby mesured normal with the 8 week ultrasound. Please don't think that you have to consider not having the baby because of the surgery. Everything will be okay, and next year you will have this perfect little being in your arms. Good luck with what ever choice you make.

I got preggers at 10 weeks post op.. after having 1 preemie and 1 miscarriage. I was/am high risk to begin with... If you want this baby.. then you call every dr on your list of providers and ask them if they feel comfortable treating a Gastric Bypass patient.... when you find one that sayes YES... run to them!! Yes.. I am more tired this time... but at 25 weeks... feeling baby Jonah move... he is worth every nap I take!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 OH E, there is no reason to abort. while being pregnant so soon out is difficult and harder then most, it's mostly on you, no the baby. you have to have faitht aht all will be okay. you do not have to abort just because you were so soon out. i personally had Lap RNY march 12th adn currently 11 weeks pregnant, so i ws 2 1/2 months out when getting pregnant. while it was a big suprise, my surgeon and perinatalogist has been very supportive. eat small and often, chew well, take vitamins and supplements and drink lots of water and i bet everything will be fine. there are several of us on teh board that are so soon out and we can go thru this together...good luck, try not to freak out and congratulations! aka mom2ben99 (jennilee75@...)
