Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi Tracey, Congratulations on your weight loss and pregnancy! I just wanted to share with you that I had my VBG in May 2003 and am currently almost 7 mos pregnant with my first. I lost 104lb in 9 mos prior to getting pregnant... Most of the girls on here have had RNY's but there are a few VBGer's out here. I have had to have two hernias and adhesions fixed at 5 mos post op, and I think I have another one by my belly button now from the pressure of baby growing, but its not painful... As for pushing, a number of ladies here seem to have had vaginal births and done well...being a first time mom to be, I don't have firsthand experience with this yet... Just wanted to say HI and welcome you to the board... All the best, 30 weeks preggo. EDC Nov 10 > Good morning everyone! Well, the weepiness and worry have started to > creep up on me.
