- Weight gain

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I am in Massachusetts too and had my surgery with Dr. Gazmuri at NWH.

I am 16 weeks pregnant and have actually lost 10 pounds.

Goodluck on your journey!

Weight gain

I am 7 weeks along. I am curious, those of you who have had a baby

pre op, and have also had a baby post op, or are pregnant now...How

has your weight gain compared?

At first glance, what I have heard from other sources, is an average

of 20 pound weight gain for WLS patients. But I would like to hear

it from you...

I was 280 when I got pregnant with my son, and I didn't gain

anything until about 6 months, I lost weight until then. Then at

about 8.5 months I started really gaining, and by the time I

delivered 16 days late, I was up to 320!!! I certainly don't expect

to be anywhere close to that, since I am at 160 right now, and

that's really no gain for me yet, and I am 7 weeks and 3 days. I

float between 155 and 160 anyway. (Besides, hubby says it seems to

have all gone to my chest, and boy did it need it, after the weight

loss;-)

So I want to hear from all of you to see what I am likely to

expect. I was 323 at my heaviest, and I was at 157 when I tested

positive for pregnancy. I am 5'9 " , and I wear about a size 10.

Also, on average, did you find that your maternity clothing size

went up, compared to your normal clothing size?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
