Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi everyone! I'm new to the list, so first let me introduce myself. My name is Shanti (shawntay) and I'm 28. I had RNY on April 24, 2000 and I have gone from 311 pounds to 165 pounds. I just discovered a few days after Christmas that I'm pregnant! Because of the holidays I have been unable to get in touch with my bariatric doctor or my family doctor. I have just some general questions. I'm very curious about the success rate of losing the baby weight after surgery. Is it hard, is it not so hard?? Also, I have a lot of excess skin around my midsection. When I'm 5-9 months' pregnant, am I going to look like a whale again or will people be able to see that I'm actually pregnant? Do you double up on iron? Do you increase protein? Is there anything you think I should know being a WLS patient and being pregnant? I appreciate your comments. Thanks in advance!
