8 months post op and pregnant



Recommended Posts

So last night and today I got positive pregnancy results. My question is....what in the world do I do now?? I'm going to the doctor today for a pregnancy test.....do I need to call my surgeon too? I'd love any help on this. I'm extreamly happy cause this was one of my main reasons of having this surgery but freaking out big time!!!!!

Well, I would start taking some extra Vitamins specifically to help support your system; as welcome as he/she is, there's a new drain on resources and your body is still learning to cope. I'd check in with my surgeon and a dietitian and get their recommendations.

Congratulations!

Look up jerz oh here, she's a pro at the whole pregnant after RNY thing. I'd let your surgeon know and you'll need to see OB ASAP :) also use caution with taking extra Vitamins, some are toxic if you take too much. I can't tell you what you'll need extra of, but ask your surgeon to be safe! Congrats!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
