Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi everyone, Today I saw a 35-year-old patient who is 2.5 years out of roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery. She's 9 weeks pregnant with twins. Current weight is 313 lbs (BMI 44.3)and total weight loss since surgery is 180 lbs. She admits that she is fearful of gaining a lot of weight since she's carrying twins. I'm looking for information regarding minimally required weight gain to maintain a safe pregnancy, as well as ballpark kcal recommendations. If someone can add their expertise to this case, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
