Pre-Pregnancy Concerns & Questions!

[Guest guest]

Hello...this is my first time here so bear with me if I'm asking

anything repetitive. (Sorry!)

I'm 7 yrs post-op...had Gastric Bypass Roux-en-y the old fashioned

way. (Not laparscopic) Had no complications or problems at all aside

from a bout with severe Vitamin D deficiency last year which has

since been cleared up.

My hubby and I are hoping to start a family early next year and I

want to be sure I'm in a " healthy " condition prior to conceiving. My

Ob/Gyn ran blood tests yesterday and she said as long as vitamin and

thyroid levels are " normal " that a prenatal and extra folic acid is

all I'll need to keep my vitamin levels normal. She said she would

check my levels periodially both before pregnancy and once I am

pregnant to be sure baby has enough nutrients.

Is this sufficent for us GB patients or is it also necessary to work

with a nutritionist? Again, I'm 7 yrs post-op so my weight has

stabalized.

THANKS!
