Just found out......

I had my surgery done 1 year and 5 months ago! Went from 150 to 133 and just found out today I am 6 weeks pregnant.  I'm scared and don't know what to think!!!   I have only been at my goal weight for about a month and haven't even had time to enjoy that year and half of hard work.  Physically my body isn't ready for this!!!  I struggle w/vit d   level every couple of months and for the last 3 weeks have literally been in bed so exhausted /sick can't even move.  I get up dizzy/nauseous.  I have a daughter who will be 17 next month!!!! and a 12 yr old son...omg what was I thinking???  Has anyone had this happen so soon after surgery and the issues that came from it?  I just don't think my body is ready for this! So scared and tired of being so sick.

i know a person who had her surgery 3 mo before me and she became preg this summer. her baby was very premie. i think if you follow drs orders to the t and keep very close tabs on it you will do fine. dont blow anything off as minor. congrats!

I assume you went from 250 to 133 ??? Be sure that you let your OB know about your surgery and absorption issues. There is a pregnancy after weight loss surgery here on OH that would probably be a great resource for you too.

Congratulations.....btw, my oldest son was 17 when I had my youngest and I wouldn't change it :)

Congratulations!!! Check with your Dr. and let them know you had WLS and need some extra advice on how to do this.

OOppss yes went from 250 to 150...sorry!  Well for last 2 week very crampy so I already had ultrasound done last week and she said heartrate was about 85-90% so I have another scheduled for this Monday.  Ill call my gastric doctor and let her know what 's going on also.  My obgyn I did let her know and she actually doesn't have any pt's that have had gastric....oh great..illl be the guinea pig! LOL   Thank you for your responses!!!!!!

You might want to transfer to a High Risk Obstetrician, rather than try to educate your current doc if he/she is not familiar with the problems WLS patients face.  Better for you, better for baby.

Thank you! That is a great idea.  I'll ask her if she has recommendations I have to see her Monday for another u/s.
