RE: Question about waiting

[Guest guest]

They want you to wait for 18 months but ( and this is just my opinion) I

think 12 is far long enough. As long as you can eat well and drink well and get

in

all your nourishment and you feel well then you are ready to try for your

baby. I would get that IUD out and forget about the patch Just my opinion

though

Kris,

I had my surgery October 2002, so I am now 15 months out. At my 6

month post-op check-up my surgeon sadi that all my blood work looked

good and so if I wanted to go for a pregnancy, to go right ahead.

Two weeks later I developed anemia. I went on iron and about a month

and a half later I pulled my IUD. and by the time I was 9 months post-

op I was pregnant. I am now almost 30 weeks pregnant (due April 11,

2004). So the best advice is to ask your surgeon or doctor (who

ever's care you are under now) how they feel about your blood work

and if they feel your body is ready. But then again how do you

feel? Do you feel like your back to pretty much normal? If so don't

worry about the BC patch.

Thanks for the answer. My labs are really good at the moment, they

weren't for a while, I was also anemic. My doctor here in town

thinks it should be fine, but like I said, haven't asked my surgeon.

He's 6 hours away and over a mountain pass, and it is winter, so

don't want to go see him and ask, lol. I will be getting my labs

done again in a month, so... Ok. Thanks again for the answer, and

wow, April, thats so close!! Good for you!!

Was it painful before loosing the weight? Mine wasn't so I figure

thats why it is now. The using it right and still being pregnant

thing is what I'm afraid of, ok, afraid and um, kinda hoping for at

the same time, that way I can say oops, well, it was an accident.

And of course, try to keep the big glowing grin off my face. Let us

know what your results are. Thanks for your response.

I agree, I think a year is enough. And hubby really wants a baby

too, so I have him on my side. I feel great, I'm not at goal, but my

weight loss has stopped for a while, so I'm not too worried there

to. Now to see what he thinks of going without the patch. Thanks

for your response.

Kris,

I had my RNY on 10/16/02 and became pregnant at 9 months unfortunately it ended

in a miscarriage of tne with triplets. I am now 14 weeks pregnant and feel great

except for the tiredness. I say if everything is fine with your labs and your OB

feels you are healthy then I would give it a try. Good luck and best wishes to

you. Let us know.
