Pregnancy After Ryn-Y.

[Katie 16]

I had my surgery almost 3 years ago (January 20, 2011). I had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't get pregnant for 2 year, and I suppose it was close enough? Lol. But I have a few concerns, this is my first baby and I really have no idea how my body will react? Is there any advice you can give me on what to expect? I know I'll be gaining weight..and I'm okay with it because I refuse to gain just because I'm pregnant.

I don't really have any advice, but my husband's cousin just had a baby last month after RNY & she was less than a year postop when she got pregnant. This was her 2nd child & she had been told that the only way she had a hope of getting pregnant again was to lose weight, so that's why she had the bypass to begin with. She has mentioned that she only gained 17 lbs during the pregnancy & I know they kept a pretty close eye on her because of the bypass. By the time her daughter was about 2 weeks old, she posted that she had lost 30 lbs from the delivery date & actually weighed less than when she got pregnant. Her pregnancy was pretty easy & her new daughter is healthy as can be. Good luck to you!

I got pregnant 17 days post op RNY and besides horrible morning sickness and low Iron which required infusions, the baby and I were great. Born at 37 weeks at a healthy 7lbs5oz.
