Wasting Away in San Diego

30 Weeks Pregnant and Going Strong
August 21, 2009 10:22 am
Hey all,

I'm sorry for the delay in meetings, but  we're expecting Jake in October.  Hopefully he'll hang out until then, but because of Gastric By-Pass surgery I am high risk and not traveling in the last 3 months of the pregnancy.  I'll keep you posted on my progress and hope to see you soon.

Pregnant at last!!!

Hi all!

You have been joining this group one by one and we haven't formally met.  There is a reason...a very good reason!  Only 1 1/2 years after surgery I met the man of my dreams, became engaged and married him with a dream wedding, remodeled his home and moved to Riverside, and only 9 days after the wedding began fertility treatment.  At 47, and 3 attempts I am now in my 14 week of pregnancy and all looks great!

So, if anyone wants to know, "is the surgery worth it", my answer is absolutely.  I have the life I have been waiting all my life to have.

So, how are you?  Where are you in your process?  This group was begun with the original team of 7 women that went through the Kaiser Positive Choice gastric surgery program - a six month therapy/educational course.  We all went through Pacific Bariatric and had surgery within about a 9 month span.  At the wedding we took a group picture after having lost hundreds of combined pounds.  So, we are all post op.

Let me know what stage you are in.  Before the fertility process and surgery I  visited San Diego multiple times a week.  I intend to begin my weekly visits to friends and again start having monthly meetings (the last one was in January - pre embryo transfer).

I look forward to chatting with you and getting to know you.  I am trying to find a date in May that we can get together in San Diego.
