Topic: IUD- Mirena
Hey! Long time no post from me! My kids are now 3 and 1!!! They are growing so fast, it's amazing!
I'm thinking about using an IUD instead of the pill... anyone have any experiences they could share with me? Does the IUD make you gain weight?
Hubby doesn't want any more kids...... I'm on the fence :)
I hope everyone is doing well!!

Topic: RE: Just testing the waters...Baby No. 2 ...what do you think?
Hey Chavon!
So do YOU want another baby?? If you do and it was me... I would start trying now the old fashion way... it could take awhile for you to get pregnant... or it might happen right away. I know that you've waited so long for your little mircle but I don't think you'd be cheating Jakob... you'd be giving him a sibling that he'll have for life.
Are you breastfeeding? A lot of woman can not get pregnant while breastfeeding (others can chime in if it's an issue).
Baby No. 2 is a lot of work and changes up the game big time...but they are well worth it!

Topic: RE: OT: Revision Scheduled!!
I weighed 365 when I had Gastric Bypass... I'm now 280. My surgeon just kept saying I wasn't doing what I was supposed to and basically scolded me every appointment. I was exercising.. had a trainer at the gym but I was constantly hungry. My doctor said I needed diet pills... put me on Phentramine... when that didn't work he put me on something else that caused more weight gain! He then said I needed to see a hypnotist. That is when I told that practice see you later!! After 3 years of being told it was all my fault that my WLS had failed I was done!
My mom had Gastric Bypass in Pittsburgh for insurance purposes (we live 2 hours away from there) So I decided to go see her surgeon last year... He checked my blood work (which my other surgeon rarely did.. I think only three times) I had an upper GI and Lower GI done which revealed that I didn't have a stomach pouch at all. Everything I eat goes right through to my intestines. That's all he needed to see to be #1 Appalled and #2 schedule a revision surgery to make it right.
Good Luck if you persue it... a lot of people just think it's their fault.. and there could actually be a problem.

Topic: OT: Revision Scheduled!!
Hello everyone! I just thought i'd give a little update- I got a Revision date!! 8/9/10 (should be easy for me to remember).
As a lot of you know I found out 1+ years ago that my Gastric Bypass was done incorrectly and was schedule for a revision when I got Pregnant with Avery. Well I have had a couple of appointments and we schedule the surgery again for August.
I'm soooo excited and getting nervous!! I think it's because I know whats coming? When I had Gastric Bypass 5 years ago I didn't know what to expect, but now I do and it's no picnic. I'm also more nervous now because 1. a revision is harder to perform that a regular RNY. 2. I have two kids now. I'm going to be terrified about this...... I'm not sure how to calm that fear or if I even can.
I need to lose some lbs before the surgery and I think the only way I can do this is putting myself on a liquid diet for a couple of weeks. Anyone have any suggestions on some good Protein shakes?? When I had my RNY I used Whey Protein shakes from GNC... looking for something cheaper perhaps? I really have no idea what to expect weightloss wise... he said people lose like 10-50lbs.... I was hoping for more like 100lbs LOL... As it stand right now I have NO stomach.. everything I eat goes right to my intestines..... I had to drink 6 cups of that yucky white milky nasty tasting stuff just so they could get two pictures of it- it was moving so fast they couldn't capture it on the Upper GI.
If anyone has any revision stories please share them.....the OH Revision board is kind of worthless to me... everyone is on there looking to Convert to DS (which I would love to- but it's not covered by insurance).
I will be updating next week with Avery's 4 month stats after we go to the doctor!!
Here are my Babies!!

Topic: RE: How long do you have to wait to try and get pregnant?
I'm sorry but your surgeon is absolutely ridiculous!!! That is the biggest lie I've heard in awhile. How totally unethical of him to say such a thing. I totally agree that this is an awful scare tactic that obviously stuck with you- but please don't pass this bad and incorrect information along!! I'd be finding a new surgeon ASAP!! Yours is rotten! I'd be concerned about what other bad information he's giving you!

Thanks Julie that would help Kylebeth@gmail.com
I give you a lot of credit getting up so early and hitting the gym... I can't imagine how tired you must be. I really think it would help to turn my journals into someone. That would totally keep me honest and accountable.

Topic: RE: How do I to get rid of Baby Fever?
The cure for baby fever is having another baby........ lol jk....
I agree that there is "never a right time" to have another baby... "there is never enough money" to have another baby... I always knew I wanted a 2nd baby because I wanted Zachary to have a sibling. I had the same fears that you do. I couldn't wrap my head around loving another child as much as I loved Zachary... but you do! It's amazing... It can be hard, but i'm a firm believer in it being well worth it!
My babies are 22 months apart.... if I had to do it over again.. I would have probably had them 26-28 months a part... (not a big difference) but perhaps we would be on our way to potty training?
The 2nd pregnancy makes you realize just how easy you had it the first time around! You could nap when you wanted to and really be in the "moment" with a baby on the way... I found that with Avery..... I didn't really have time to dwell on how it was going to be until she was actually here.
Zachary loves his baby sister... he throws a tantrum every now and then when i'm feeding her and he's not getting all the attention... but thats something he needs to learn to deal with (and he's almost 2!)
Good luck with whatever you decide.. I think it's rewarding to have multiple children.. and i'd even want another one if we had more room/money... time will only tell when baby fever strikes me again!
((((Hugs!))))
