Pregnant & Complications

[Guest guest]

I a 8 mths post-op and 3 mths pregnant. I found out about the baby

about 3 weeks agao and I have been very sick every since. I was

hositalized for dehydration last week. I am having a very hard time

adjusting and eating. I think the thing that is stressing me out the

most right now is that I can't find a Dr. who seems to understand or

is concerned about the risks associated with bypass and surgery. I am

trying to find anything to read to help me because I am scared out of

my ind at this point. I hate being sick but my husband and I want a

healthy baby. To make matters even more complicated, my job is acting

crazy becasue of the days I have missed already (I was out 3 months

after bypass because of a little complication). I can't afford to

quit or lose my job but my Dr. won't put me out on leave until I can

get myself together. I am so much meds trying to control the naseau,

vomiting and headaches and I sleep more than anything. I feel tired

all the time.

can anyone give me any information or advice on pssible concerns

besides waiting on time. I am tired of beng sick.

Thanks,

Janene

Call your surgeon's office and see if he can recommend someone. Do

you have a hr dept at your work? See what is available as far

options for you. In the mean time maybe your surgeon can help you

out. I was getting sick all the time and they passed it off as

morning sickness but in fact it wasn't. This may or may not be your

case. The meds can mask symptoms so keep pushing the issue. I feel

for you. Do you have a support group where you can ask for

referrals? Good Luck and take of yourself. Congrats on the baby btw.

Keep us updated.
