Pregnant too soon after RNY



Recommended Posts

I had gastric bypass July 27th and just found out I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. I'm pretty nervous because I've been struggling to eat enough to keep me healthy nevermind sustaining a healthy pregnancy. Anyone else have any experience with a pregnancy shortly after WLS? Also I'm scared my weight loss will stop and not start up again. Idk there are so many things freaking me out. Not to mention this is baby number 4 and my last one will be one in December lol

I met with my bariatric surgeon today and got some good info. I will be a high risk pregnancy but if I do exactly what I'm supposed to do everything should be ok. I can't take birth control due to other medical issues I've had, we were using the calendar method but I think we missed something lol but I feel a lot better now after talking to the surgeon and she assured me I will keep losing weight and the baby will be fine if I just follow a strict diet.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
