Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hi Everyone, I am new here also. I just found out that I am pregnant and I am only 5 1/2 weeks out of surgery. I was in no way trying to get pregnant. I was on the pill and I have a 10 month old... so this was very unexpected and pretty scarey. I was not informed after surgery that the pill can lose it's effectiveness on WLS patients. According to my LMP I am 5w1d. Has anyone else every gotten pregnant this early out, or even know someone who did, or who is? I could really use some advice and I would just love to hear that I am not the only one to be as many weeks pregnant as I am out of surgery. I look forward to getting to know you. Oh.. does anyone have any information that I can take to my OB, my surgeon wasn't very informative. I go on Friday so anything would be much appreciated.
