I am about 11 months out from my gastric bypass and plan to start trying to conceive my first child once I hit the 2 year mark. I have read mixed information about pregnancy after the surgery, so I thought I'd ask you guys for your experiences.

Did you struggle with getting the nutrients you and baby needed? If so, what did you do that helped with this?

Did you develop gestational diabetes?

Was a c-section necessary?

How big was baby at birth?

Was a NICU stay necessary?

Were you able to breastfeed?

How much weight did you gain during pregnancy and how much of that did you lose after baby was born?

Any advice for things I could do now to be better prepared?

Thank you so much to anyone who answers! I know I am getting ahead of myself being more than a year away, but having a baby was the biggest reason I decided to have this surgery to begin with, so it's something I've had on my mind for a while now.

I'm almost 8 months out from my gastric bypass. In the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that suddenly everything makes me nauseous. Everything, though some things worse than others. Whenever I eat, it's immediately followed by this churning feeling that usually lasts about an hour. I haven't felt anything like this since having the surgery, as far as I can remember. My surgeon's office is 5 hours away and I recently lost my health insurance and won't get it back for another 2 months, otherwise I would just be talking to him. Has anyone experienced anything similar and/or have any tips for getting over it?
