GBS saved my life & helped me create a new one...literally

[w8loser 58]

I haven't been on here in a while, but I had rny on April 3, 2014. I lost 105lbs, making it down to 187lbs. My motivation was my two children & my wonderful husband. He is not my kid's natural father, but he has been their dad when their's weren't. But, I really wanted to give him a child of his own even when he said it didn't matter; that my kids are his kids. In 2011, I got pregnant, but soon after miscarried due to out of control blood pressure. Got pregnant again in 2013, but it was in my right tube. So, lost the baby & the tube. Doc showed pictures after surgery & I was ashamed. My tubes/uterus/ reproductive organs were surrounded by fat. I believe that my fat got in the way of baby making it to my womb. I decided once & for all to have the surgery after changing my mind twice over the years. Fast forward to August 2015 -we found out we are expecting without even trying! Our baby girl is doing great & is due to arrive on my 2 year Surgiversary April 2016!! How amazing is that?! Hope this inspires someone.

Yes! It is inspiring for those of us who need to know how normal life can be after WLS and the wonderful outcomes that are happening everyday. Congratulations on the new baby and the blessings of your "new" family and new life!

That's great congrats! I would love some advice because I too am pregnant. This would be my 3rd child. Both I had by way of cesarean. I'm nervous because those cesarean sand the gastric bypass were major surgeries I want to make sure my body is strong enough. Also what are some of the things you faced because of the surgery. Any advice and tips would be appreciated. Thank u!
