Getting ready to start process now i am pregnant



Recommended Posts

Well all I have been dying to get this process started and I finally got my amunition to get started. I got my authorization from tricare and attended the seminar on 12/17/2008. I am waiting on the call from the surgeon's off ice to meet with doctor.

My husband is currently in Iraq and I wanted to have this new body for him when her returns in May. Well he came home for R&R during the Thanksgiving holiday's and left me with a big Christmas Gift. I found out today; I AM PREGNANT!!! We have been trying for over 2 years with no luck. I have been seeing an infertility specialist from time to time and taking injections but that has not worked. I do not ovulate. The doctor put me on metformin to help with ovulation and I have been taking them ever since.

I guess it took 9 months of war to get the job done.

What should I do now? Continue with the prelimary things, psych eval, nutrition eval, and then after I have the baby I will be ready to go? Or should I just put it all on hold. We are scheduled to PCS in October. I am due the middle of August. Can I have the surgery before I PCS?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASSSSSEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!

Well COngrats to you! I say meet with a nutritionist to stay as healthy as possible while pregnant and resume the process after the fact. Remember, everything happens for a reason!

Of course you need to check with your doctors, but I say get everything done that you can now, and then after you have the baby, you will be ready to have your surgery. Congratulations on making the decision to get the band and a GREAT BIG CONGRATULATIONS on getting pregnant. Take good care of yourself and good luck. Keep us posted!!! Becky

      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?
