Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi all! I'm new to this group. I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks after my gastric bypass. What a shock!! Their urine test, done the day before surgery, did not detect a pregnancy. Anyway, I am 2 1/2 months post-op and 3 1/2 months pregnant. So far, it's been pretty hard - being sick and adjusting to the new digestive system. I've been worried about the baby, of course. I see 3 different doctors and they all are saying that the baby and I are doing great. I feel like I have so little knowledge about this pregnancy combined with having the bypass. There is a lot of info about pregnancy after surgery, but what about pregnancy during surgery. If anyone out there is in a similar situation, please contact me. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 , My situation is similar to yours--I had RNY July 17, 2003 and became pregnant after 2 months. I did not know I was pregnant until December 18th at which time I was already 31/2 months. The craziest thing was that I had my tubes tied only a year before. When i didn't have a period i really thought it was due to the rapid weightloss i was in. I went in for an ultrasound the day after my 34th birthday and found out i was having twins.I too am worried about the babies developement. I think all will be fine. I wish you the best of luck on your pregnancy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
