23 weeks pregnant after gastric bypass

[lovelylaya941 0]

Hi I had the full gastric bypass 8 years ago . I lost 255lbs . Anyways, I had one child pre op who is now 14. And 14 years later I am now pregnant again . I still can't eat large meals . And after Pasta my sugar reads 5.8 for pre diabetes . Even when I was 450lbs I never had any medical issues whatsoever . So it's a bit nerve wrecking for me. I'm also afraid of the glucose test, I heard it could kill bariatric patients . Anyone else have anything similar ?

I declined the glucose tolerance test I get bad dumping syndrome. Ask your doctor for an alternate they will have you keep track of your blood sugars for 2 weeks to check if you're in the normal range.

You should be getting full nutrition blood panels very trimester and DO NOT do the glycols test. Drinking that much glucose will likely give you bad dumping. There are other ways to determine GDM. Talk to your doctor.
