6 Weeks Pregnant and 9 Months Out

[Guest guest]

Hi There,

My name is Jackie and I am new to this group. I have to say that I

am VERY worried about the health of my baby. I have called my

bariatric surgeon and it has taken him several days to get back to

me. I just got a call saying that I need to see a special High Risk

Doctor. This in and of itself worries me. I went to see my regular

doctor for the actual pregnancy test and he put me on prenatals. He

didn't seem concerned at all about me being pregnant and nine months

out of surgery. I am sort of lucky that I can eat more than most

Bariatric Patients and even before I got pregnant my weight loss had

slowed. I don't feel at all like I am depleted. But, I don't have

an appointment with a regular OB for another two weeks. I am trying

to eat healthy and take my prenatal vitamins but I don't know if my

baby is malnourished? I am so worried and cry about this a lot, it

doesn't seem like I am getting any support or concern from any of my

doctors. If you have any advice pleast let me know. I started at

285 and am now 215, but since I have been pregnant any weight loss

has stopped. I am trying to follow the best-odds diet in " what to

eat when you are expecting " . Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks a lot

Jackie
