Get to your surgeon tomorrow! It will be extremely difficult to get sufficient nourishment for your baby and yourself, but I am sure it can be done.

I'm confused as to how you can be 5 weeks pregnant and also 5 weeks postop. Did they not do a pregnancy test before surgery?

So you're 7 weeks pregnant and 5 weeks postop, okay. Get to your surgeon or ob/gyn immediately - I can't stress that enough. You will need a tremendous amount of help with this and the sooner you get it, the better!

Does that mean you were pregnant when you had the surgery done? The first thing they made me do when I checked in at the hospital was provide them with my urine so that they could test it.

Omg! I hope everything turns out okay! I can't imagine going through a major surgery and being 2 weeks pregnant! I know some pregnancy test can be 2 weeks off! So once they measure the baby you will know exactly how far along you are!

Yeah i know but i had sex the day before my period , and they calculate it from your last period so therefore a woman is really 38 weeks pregnant not 40 but they say 40 but thats where the 2 weeks come from

But they tested me before surgery and it was negative

OMG.... I can't even imagine. How has you eating been? You should also contact an OB... Maybe someone who handles high risk pregnancies.

I read a post on here about a lady being pregnant 3-4 months out and she said she was doing well! I also read one about a lady that have birth and said she gain 20 pounds during the pregnancy and dropped it right after she gave birth w no problem!

Yes... That's the scary part because you are the most restricted in the beginning and that baby needs nutrients.

You have to get the ball rolling with doctors right away. I wish you the best of luck.

I haven't been through surgery yet but during my pregnancy 2 years ago I didn't have an apatite at all. I always felt full. The six months I was prego (she was 3 months early) I gained 10 lbs. so maybe you will will be lucky and not too hungry.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
