Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Wow , What an ordeal you went through. I can TOTALLY relate to you. I had major complications from surgery as well, and it took me 2 years to NOT regret the surgery. I KNOW how you must have felt when you found out you were pregnant. Scared as anything right? So was I, but fortunately after a couple of scares at the beginning, my body took this pregnancy well. Regarding your doctor not being familiar with WLS, I would have your surgeon get in contact with your OB. They can be of much help. Now I dont know how your relationship is with your surgeon, my relationship with mine wasnt very good when I found out I was pregnant because of the complications that I had, and his lack of wanting to admit they were due to the surgery (for me it was a no brainer) but my OB was able to call and speak with the nurse there and get some advice as how to proceed with me. I'm sure they put you on prenatals, and supplements, and just make sure they stay on top of your labs. My OB did frequent ultrasounds in the beginning of the pregnancy, actually pretty much all the way through so far, to make sure the baby was growing properly. So these are just a few things you might want to suggest to your OB. Welcome to the group, and congrats on the pregnancy, and keep us posted!!! Take care. Marcy Wallis edd 12/08/02 Baby Boy!!! Mom to a beautiful 8 yr old daughter (PRE WLS) new to the group Hello everyone! I am new to the group. I had a RNY 6/26/01 and had a lot of complications. I almost died twice and was in the hospital for over a month. I was sick for almost a year. I just turned 26 and found out today that I am pregnant. I am very nervous because of all of the complications I have had and the fact that my doctor knows nothing about WLS. Any help you can give would be apprechiated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Hello everyone! My name is Jana and I live in Tulsa, OK. I had a RNY Gastric Bypass on April 2nd of this year. I am now 14 wks pregnant and scared out of my mind. I got my labs done last month and they were fine but I have had really severe morning sickness. Phenergan didn't do the trick but I am now on Zofran and I can eat again! I have lost 90 lbs so far and imagine I'll still lose throughout my pregnancy. I'm good about taking my prenatal vitamins and eating healthy, but have so many questions and concerns. Any advice anyone can give would be so appreciated!!!! Thanks, Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Dear Lee, One of the reasons I am in THIS group is that other WLS patients from other ossgyahoogroups seem to be so resentful of women with children. Please remember that many WLS patients have never been married or never had any children. G-d forgive me for criticizing them for their bad fortune. However, they can be extremely critical of women with children. It sounds like your group is doing that to you, and you must remember that they look at you and perceive you to be so lucky for already having kids........ Many of the WLS groups are dominated by single women with no children who constantly discuss their weekend athletic activities, their dinner plans with other people and what they have planned for the next week. I am glad they are making good use of their time and enjoying life. However, they are unwilling to realize that other WLS patients have different outlooks on life due to different circumstances. I would still rather hear nasty comments from people like that RATHER THAN be a person like that! I would not trade places with them for anything in the world. We just have to " grin and bear it " and realize how unfortunate they are and how lucky we are..... Take care, Shoshannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
