Topic: RE: Any new preggo moms had panniculectomy or tummy tuck?

I'm 5 1/2 yrs from RNY and a couple of years post panni.  I have had some other surgeries as well.  Today at my 12 week visit my OB said I will probably have to be automatically scheduled for a C-section, but not because of either of those surgeries but because I had a vaginal sling done 10 yrs ago.  I want to avoid a C-section as much as possible as I have problems with anesthesia and surgeries in general (wounds healing, infection, etc.).  I'm seeing a high risk dr in a few weeks because of prior health issues, I'm hoping she changes the whole C-section idea.  My scar from my panni has started becoming a little sore, so I have been applying lots of cream.

Topic: Gaining too much weight!

Last November was my 1st year anniversary of VSG.  A couple weeks later I found out I am pregnant.  So far I am at 20 weeks and gained about 18 pounds.  My Dr. said she doesn't want me to gain more than 20-25 pounds through the entire pregnancy and I'm almost there.  My good eating habits have gone down the drain, all I want to eat is candy, bread and such and I am eating all the bad stuff! I had no morning sickness or anything, the only reason I know I am pregnant is because I have no period and when I go to my ob visit i hear a heartbeat also, my belly is growing and lately I feel my lil cupcake throwing parties i there!

We are overly excited to have a new baby, this will be our 4th but our other kids are 18, 16 and 14yo.

I am not sure how to go back to eating better because it's like I don't care but I do, I don't want to get big again, please help!

Ive gained 5 lbs so far and am on track to gain about 20-25 total. Ive been doing prenatal (I was religious before getting pg and in early pg but since about 16 weeks its been lacking) 2x a day and vit D. my md checked my levels everything came back good except vit. D and slightly low vit A. Good Luck the hunger will come trust me lol

Topic: RE: 1 week post op, PCOS.. NOT TTC-- just have questions

I have pcos and had very irregular cycles before weight loss surgery.  I did however conceive  3 times before i had surgery.  It was only when I was able to lose some weight.  Before my surgery my periods were 100 + days apart and my pcos symptoms had greatly progressed.  I had became borderline diabetic as well.    Two days after surgery I started my period and as I lost weight my periods started getting more regular every month.  I am 20 months out from surgery and have regular periods every 30 days for probably 14months.  I am now 6 weeks pregnant after trying to conceive for 1 month.  We were in total shock after it took over 4 years to conceive our first child.  I did an ovulation test and got a positive ov test and it worked the first time.  The only part of pcos that i still experience is some hair growth on my chin.  So, i'd say your chances are pretty good for things to improve :)

Topic: RE: Pregnant 20 months out from sleeve

Thanks for your responses :)  I'm still not experiencing much hunger.  I guess I should be thankful, but I am in that stage due to the lack of pg symptoms, I keep wondering if everything is working as it should.  My last pg's I had crazy hunger!  I'm sure the further along I get it will pick up.  I have occasional breast tenderness and that full feeling in the lower abdomen.  I had my vitamin levels checked last week.  I'm waiting to hear back on that.
