having children after gastric bypass

Has anyone had a child after gastric bypass? i'm 24 years old with no children and going to go through with the surgery... i know the doctor said i can later but was just wondering on ppl's personal experience of going through with it... any complications? or problems?

Hello,

I am 4 years post op, and currently 32 weeks pregnant. I do have Gestational diabetes, but that can happen to anyone. My OB considers me high risk due to my RNY, and because of that I am monitored very closely re: bloodwork, and ultrasounds. Pregnancy weight gain has not been an issue, as I am only up 8 pounds. I feel great, and baby is awesome.

Best wishes with your surgery!

WHATTHA???? how you just gonna spring that on us??????  Either you been keeping that under raps or I haven't been around too much.  Either way congratulations girly!

DITTO!! WTH??? Yo you kept that on the low low lol

Congratulations Aliyah!!

thank u soo much

There has been a few of us on BAF to have babies PostOp as a matter of fact, there is  a whole OH forum dedicated to pregnancy.

Hey there, I'm currently 20 weeks and a few days...so far so good.  I do suffer from anemia (but that existed before pregnancy).  Initially, I went to see a perinatologist but now I see my regular OB/GYN and my labs are monitored closely.

I would suggest you peek in over at the Pregnancy After Weight Loss Forum....great ladies over there.

thanx to everyone for the feedback helps alot

Hi Icesess!  I've had two litle ones since my surgery and I had no complications. I did have to have my iron monitored pretty closely, but other than that, it was smooth sailing.  As far as weight gain goes - I gained 27 lbs with my 2 year old and 32 lbs with my 4 month old.  I breast-feed both of them and dropped ALL of my pregnancy weight in two weeks!  Good luck to you!

Be Blessed... Be a Blessing!
