WOW, IM PREGNANT!

Hey Susanne - First, congratulations! I had Lap RNY on Jan 29th 2003 and I lost 178 lb and became preggers almost as soon as we started trying which was bout 16 mths or so (July 2004). I must say it was far different than my first and I had a better sense of what my body wanted/needed. I did gain 45 lb and had a happy healthy 6 lb 11 oz. bugga April 11th 2005! My weight started coming off immediately following delivery and with some health issues aside I have been able to get going on the weight loss more and am in line to pursue reconstructive surgery fully now. It's really something amazing and awing and a true blessing from God in which all things are made possible. A few things to focus on if you would bear with me...please remember to take your vits and get in your fluids and exercise is still something to do. Do talk with your OB and surgeon TOGETHER. That was one of the biggest benefits for me. They both discussed my case b/c I was considered high risk. Enjoy! Keep us posted. Take care, Kat
