I had gastric bypass 12/30/14 and had a lot of completions such as a LEAK. I still have my feeding tube and a drain. My leak is very small as of 5/9/15. My question is I am worried I maybe pregnant and with me still healing could it make me have a miscarriage, due to not getting all the nutrition I need. My stupidity for not being more careful since I am still healing. I haven't talked to my Dr yet just waiting a little longer to be for sure.

Starting weight 297, Current 199

From what I've read, you're probably more at risk for having a small baby than a miscarriage. The tiny new embryo doesn't need much to grow on. I was horribly nauseated for both my pregnancies and didn't eat well as a result, and the kiddos were fine. BUT, you need to get to your OB and your surgeon ASAP and do whatever you can to get the nutrition you need for a growing little one. I wish you good luck.

P.S. There are some pregnancy tests that can tell if you are pregnant 6 days before your period is due, you might want to run out and grab one.

      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.
