Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 - I had a lap rny in Sept. of 2000, I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant and have gained 25 lbs. I am totally fine with that weight gain. My basic thought is that when I went through weight loss surgery, I tried really hard not to compare myself with others and the amount they were losing or how fast they were losing. I have applied the same principal to the pregnancy. I am healthy, my baby is healthy. I wouldn't worry that anything is wrong. As long as your dr. is fine with where you are at, you should take comfort in that and not worry! Hang in there! Janine > long time > > Hello everyone I am and I have not posted in a while.
