Guest guest Posted October 31, 2000 Report Share Posted October 31, 2000 Dear , Dr. R. request that you wait 2 years before conceiving after this procedure. While some post-ops have become pregnant much sooner, it is safer for mom and babe from a nutritional standpoint to wait.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Tarri, Thank-you so much for the information. I just sent off the info to the insurance office so I'm on the starting end of this whole process. What about you? Have you already had surgery? If so, how are you doing?

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 , I am 30 years old and I am going to have surgery Dec. 21st. I too want to have children and from what I have been told by my regular physician is that it should be no problem. Just think of the risks getting pregnant at 285 lbs was what the doc told me. We just need to be very careful with supplements and make sure that we aren't depriving ourselves or the baby of nutrients. I know of some people who have had the open surgery and have done real well with pregnancy. I believe you can get pregnant 1 year after surgery. I am to believe that they prefer 2 years so you can adjust and have a chance to enjoy being thin for awhile. Any ways, good luck to you and start getting depo shots about 4-6 weeks before your surgery. You can email me personally if you want to chat or express fears.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Dear , I had the procedure on September 29 and could not be more pleased. Yesterday on the scale I have already lost 38 pounds. No dumping, no reflux, no hair loss. Have only thrown up once and that was only after 2 - 3 bites so I don't know what the deal was there. Best of luck on getting everything together. Let me know if I can help.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 I had this same thing happen after giving my son " Seattle Brown Loaf " . I haven't bought another loaf yet and I haven't seen it since. I'm anxious to hear what is meant by coffee grounds because that's how my son's looked.

I noticed little black specks in his > poop and stuck to his bottom (just looking at it reminds me of the > little granules of yeast you use for baking, only black). I know several people who described this and discovered their answer was a bowel impaction, which your description reminded me because you said the specks " stuck " to his bottom. Does your child appear constipated or conversely very runny? If so, might be an impaction with runny bm leaking around the impaction. Some of the impaction, which would be dark/black and sticky, comes off into the diarrhea and comes out along with it. If you think this might be the cause, you should stop feeding that bread and try a glycerin suppository with your child to help move the impaction. If you suspect he is still impacted after another day or so, take him to have a bowel x-ray, this sort of impaction can be dangerous, if this is what he has.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 My son gets this every time he eats black beans. I am currently having him tested for an allergy to them. The allergist just believes he is not able to digest them well so they come through partially digested. She said it doesn't hurt him (just doesn't get as much nutritional value out of them). > Ok, this is poop related and I'm sorry to even be posting about this > but this looked weird and I just wanted to know if any of you have > seen this before and what causes it.
