Topic: RE: Pregnant and have to do 3 hour glucose test

My obgyn office doesn't do the glucose tolerance test on any bariatric patient. They have other options they do instead. I am a diet controlled diabetic so I didnt have to do it anyway but do have to check my sugars 4 times a day. I would see if they can do another option instead.

I refused to do the glucose tolerance test. I called my sugeon's office and they agreed with my decision. As an alternative, they asked me to do a fasting blood sugar test and then go eat a meal and come back an hour later and do a second blood sugar test.

Topic: RE: Blood test frequency?

My midwife wants my vitamin and mineral levels done once a trimester. My 2-year follow-up with my surgeon is this month, so my 2nd trimester tests will get done at that appointment.

Topic: RE: 34wks and some issues

I had non stress test with my 2nd due to my PIH. He was a stubborn little snot in which it would take a while for him to start moving around. They would finally give me ice to eat to stimulate movement....it became routine to sit down with a cup of ice for each one. Once he started moving around his heart did what it was suppose to each time. I had them done weekly for the last 4 wks of my pregnancy and he was born happy and healthy at 37wks. Oh...and he is still just a stubborn...lol.

Good luck

Topic: RE: Pregnant and have to do 3 hour glucose test

I never have dumping and I had it during my 1hr test. I contacted my gastric bypass Dr and he about had a cow that my Obgyn had me do a regular glucose test. He also said he has had patients who were hospitalized after doing the 3hr test. I didn't have to do another test but the Dr did say there were other options. I've heard u can get blood work then get breakfast then come back and.get blood work. I would definitely contact your surgeon and if you can't contact them since its been 10yrs I'd contact another one.
