Surgeon Testimonial

Huy Trieu MD
Dr. Trieu is wonderful. He is down to earth and tells you how it is. He is understanding and will work with you. I have had no complications with my surgery, even with getting pregnant only 3 months out from surgery. I would recommend Dr. Trieu to anyone!!!!!

Happy Holidays- 12 weeks pregnant
on November 30, 2009 5:08 am
Everything here is going great, my nausea is easing up a little and I am able to add more variety of food into my diet again, looking forward to that.

I am 12 weeks and 1 days pregnant today, only 6 more days to go until the dreaded 1st trimester is over, but I have really relaxed quite a bit as I have seen my little one on numerous occasions moving all over the place,

I am going to Portland today to meet with the high risk ob for a ultrasound and consult....hoping to hear good news regarding the gastric bypass stuff and not bad news (other than nutrition I don't know what bad news they can give me).

My hubby and I are going to NYC on Friday for the weekend with 2 friends of ours, it should be fun. We are taking the bus down so we don't have to drive, thats a good thing!


Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving, I did...ate some turkey, corn, roll and a little sweet potato, didn't feel "deprieved" like most people say they do the first holiday after RNY.


Love to all,
Melissa

8 weeks pregnant
on November 3, 2009 5:30 am
So this is my 8th week...everything is going well, other than feeling nausea all the time! Blah! But this little baby is so worth it. I am on the pregnancy after weight loss forum and when I read some of the posts I get so fearful that something bad is going to happen to the baby, becuase it happens to others (which I am so soory for their scares/losses)...Michael and I just really want to have a baby and be happy!!!! So I am thanful to god and pray for him to keep us safe.

I had a scare with swine flu, a family I work with (I am a case manager)  got it and I was exposed to them, so I have been on Tamiflu since last Tuesday, will be done on Thursday, can't wait to be done it....and I will get my vaccines at the OB on Friday.

We bought the baby crib and changing table last week and this past Sunday Michael and my sisters husband put them together...Looks so good to have abby stuff in the house! The crib bedding set will be here at the end of the week- its NoJo Jungle Babies, so excited! My little one is going to love it I just know it!!!!


So thats all for my psot for now....other than my due date was offical given June 14th 2010. So I will most likely be in the hopsital with baby on ony one year surgiversary- June 15h...how weird! Life is funny like that sometimes.

Hop everyone is well and happy, and welcome holidays, my favorite time of year for shopping and being with family!

Pregnant...will be 6 weeks next Monday 10/19!
on October 12, 2009 5:35 am
So, I found out on October 1st that I am pregnant. I am due around June 13th 2010! This is the reason I had gastric bypass surgery. I can't beleive how happy this makes me. My husband and I have our first ultrasound today.

I am aware that I became pregnant only 3 and a half months after surgery. I am working with the surgeon, OB, and PCP throughout hte pregnancy to make sure everything is healthy for both me and baby....

I feel so blessed for this opportunity and I will keep everyone updated!

My Story

I am 24 years old. I have been married since August 9th 2007, to my loving husband whom I couldn't live without for sure! I had been contemplating gastric bypass surgery since 2006...this was the 3rd time I had attempted to go ahead with gastric bypass. Each time I attempted I have gained 20 pounds in the process, the first time I weighed 253, the second 273 and the last time I was up to 299. I am done with gaining weight and really am set on losing weight and being healthy... I was nervous about the 6 month doctor supervised diet but I made it! I got approval from my insurance and had my surgery on June 15th! I currently weight 190 and I am pregnant. I am so thrilled to begin my life with my family! Feel free to message me at anytime.
