anyone become pregnant 6 months after surgery??

How did your weight loss go?
Any complications?
How was the weight loss after baby??

just curious on how it worked out for anyone who became preggers!

Hey Nikki, I did become pregnant in my 6th month post RNY and now I'm a little over 20 weeks, so bascially going on 5 months pregnant. I guess I can't provide you with how weightloss went after having baby, as I'm still pregnant, but because I was only 6 months out my body is getting thinner and I've only gained 1lb so far. My body wants to lose, but my pregnancy is saying NO NO.

I had some complications with Iron deficiency and ketones in my urine at first. I had to go from a 800 calorie a day HIGH Protein diet low to no carbs...to a 1600+ calorie a day diet and needed to add more carbs to my diet to stay out of ketosis. Ketosis is very dangerous to a growing fetus. I wouldn't recommend to anyone to get pregnant this early out as increasing my calories was a challenge and the malabsorbtion worries me everyday.

So far no really huge complications and they did do my anatomy scan and baby is growing just fine.

I GOT PREGNANT 6 MONTHS OUT AND I AM 32 WEEKS. I HAD SOME PROBLEMS LIKE LOW IRON, AND I ALSO HAVE HAD SOME DIZZY SPELLS AND FAINTED A COUPLE OF TIMES FROM LOW BLOOD PRESSURE ONE TIME AND IDK WHAT HAPPEN THE OTHER TIME. I STILL AT 32 WEEKS GET LIGHT HEADED AND DIZZY BUT I JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. GOOD LOOK!!

Hi,

I didn't get PG 6 months post surgery; I did much sooner.  I had my surgery on June 30th 2005 and found out I was PG on Sept 24, 2006 (after I lost 45 lbs).  I continued to lose weight until the last 3 months and maintained at 225 lbs.  I lost the 30 lbs after my daughter's birth but have gained about 20 lbs. back.  A lot was from bad eating, lack of exercise and lossing my job.

I was classified as High Risk but we both turned out very well.  I had an easy pregnancy and she was such a 'good baby'.  My Sunshine.

Good Luck!
