Hi,

I just joined the support list. My name is , I am 32 yo. Had RNY on Sept.

11th 2002. After about 9 months, I had lost 111 pounds with about 30-40 to go

but got pregnant. It was a surprise after about 5 years of trying. I know

everyone warned us before surgery that just because you could not get pregnant

before, use birth control cause it just might happen. Well, I didn't listen to

that one and here I am. I am so excited because I have wanted a baby for so

long. The reason I never got pregnant before was because I never had a monthly

unless I was on the pill. Well, the day after I came home from having my RNY, I

started and had it right on schedule every month. That should have been a clue

but I still did not use birthcontrol. But my surgeon is ok with it. He says I

should have waited 12-18 months post op but he has also had patients who got

pregnant 2 months postop with no complications. I have been seeing the

nutritionist also. I am due feb 6th. So far I have gained 13 pounds which all

doctors are very happy with. A few weeks ago, my ultrasound showed the baby was

too small and the amniotic fluid was below normal, but I am now having

ultrasounds, biophysical profiles, and a nonstress test done weekly and it keeps

improving with each week. With one month to go, they estimated last week that

she is approx. 4 pounds 9 oz at this time. Isn't it amazing how they can

already figure that out inutero? And the amniotic fluid is at a normal level

now. Right now, I am set to digests until I see how much mail this list puts

out per day. I am already a member of one support group online for my local

area, Nashville. I may not post much but if I do have a question, I hope you

guys will help me out. Thanks,

PS. has anyone else post op had a problem with hypoglycemia, unrelated to

pregnancy.
