Abortion after GBS

I know this is a very personal topic, but I wanted to see if anyone had to unfortunatley follow through with an abortion after gastric bypass surgery...If so could you please share your story. I wanted to see what your surgeon told you and how far after the surgery you were.
Thanks

No, I haven't, but whatever your reasons for asking, I wish you well. I don't think too many will post. As you said, this is a very personal issue for many. I know as far as pregnancy is concerned, my surgeon's office wanted to be sure I was done having kids, using protection, or promised to wait for a couple years...even better, when I reached goal. Again, good luck with your research. Hope things are OK.

I too dont think anyone will chime in on this....its far too emotionally charged to allow people to admit to such a judged act.

To be honest, I have often thought about it myself. Im currently waiting to find out if Im pregnant, but also discovered some swollen lypmh nodes around my neck and in my groin. I also have some elevated liver enzymes with no history of infections or transfusions. So, if my levels arnt down soon, Im looking at a liver biopsy and who knows what else after that....since the these two things together could be a bad prognosis. Anywho, I may be facing this choice too.....I wish you the best! And if you need to chat, please feel free to PM me.

I don't know whether you are writing out of curiosity, or because of a personal situation for either yourself or someone you know.  But the definitive answer is ...

It depends.

If someone has told a recent-RNYer that she needs to abort her baby ... I would be astonished.  In general, doctors might make a suggestion or a reccomendation, but I have not heard of any ethical physician saying a person HAD to have an abortion for any reason.  Even when the mother's life is endangered, normally the physician will present the information and give parents resources, like genetic counseling (even when the problem is not genetic).

i had a surgical abortion at the beginning of april 2009.  i was almost 5 months post-op at the time.

feel free to send me a message if you need support or want to discuss.

i have no regrets.

I dont know if u are still active here but I would love to chat with you

Hi I took the abortion pill 4 months post op and it did not work ( i kinda knew it wouldn't because it broken down in the intestine which we dont have) so i had to have a surgical abortion a few weeks later
