Re: Multiple Births after WLS

[Guest guest]

TWIN NORMALLY ARE GENETIC IN FAMILIES UNLESS SOMEONE IS TAKING MAJOR HIGH DOSE

FERTITLY DRUGS NOT JUST CLOMID! OR THE OLDER A PERSON IS THE MORE LIKELY THEY

ARE TO ARE TO MORE THAN ONE BABY DUE TO IRREGULLAR DROPPING OF MULTIPLE EGGS

DURING THEIR CYCLE, BUT JUST HAVING WLS DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY BETTER CHANCES THAN

ANYONE ELSE FOR THE TWIN LOTTERY!

I don't recall anyone in this group that mentioned anything

regarding twins or more. I can see the potential for issues with

nutrition, unless the person is at least 18 months out from

surgery. I'm not an expert of course, but I could just see health

issues occurring with both mom and the babies.

Actually, there's been at least *one* instance of post-WLS twins here on our

group. They were healthy and normal, as far as I can remember. Mom's name

was Debbie, if memory serves me correctly, and I *believe* it was about a

year ago or so.

WOW I'm glad someone started this thread because DH and I learned today that

I am pregnant with twins! I'll try to keep you all abreast of my health,

nutrition, trials and celebrations for the benefit of others. If any of you come

across another post-oper with twins please let me know. I have so many

questions!

Thanks everyone for the info! Congrads on the pregnancy. The

reason I was asking about this in the first place is because I have

been trying to conceive for a year now and my gyno has suggested in-

vitro. I don't want to go this route until at least 18 months after

my WLS and see if losing weight will help my conception. Just in

case though I would have in-vitro and have twins, I wanted to cover

my bases!

A woman who had my procedure (the mgb) just posted today on our

support group that she is 6.5 months pregnant with twins. I replied

telling her about this board (and you), so maybe she will come join.

Congratulations and good luck to you!

Hey Ansley!

I wanted to let you know that we conceived our daughter (now age 4) with

fertility treatments prior to WLS (I have PCOS). After WLS my periods became

VERY

regular..you could create a calendar by them. The irony is that we were TTC

w/o fertility help this time and I'll be darned if we didn't end up with

TWINS...

I think waiting til 18m post-op is a good idea...at least it was for us...no

fertility intervention needed (can't promise you won't still have multiples

though ;-) )

EDD 1/09/04 TWINS!
