Hi Guys

Ive been searching for a thread with information on this and have found bits and bobs but I thought let's start a communal thread with as much information as possible regarding pregnancy following gastric bypass.

I am 14 months post op and 6 weeks pregnant 🎉🎉

I spoke to my nutritionist who has advised:

Exchange my regular Multivitamin for pregnacare
5mg of folic acid instead of the recommended 400mcg
3-4 portions of Calcium a day (milk, yoghurt, cheese)

I would be getting a pregnancy letter from her next week so will post more information once I receive that.

My midwife has advised:

I should aim on gaining a max of 14lbs over the pregnancy
I will need additional scans to check baby's growth

I'll update with my progress and other information I gather.

Would love to hear from you regarding your experience, what your nutritionist or surgeon recommended and any other fun facts 😁🖤

Thank you!! That is really good advice.

Hi James
This is one of my key reasons for changing to the bypass, my surgeon was very pro RNY and mentioned it is the gold standard and more research on it. I'm fortunate not to have acid reflux so there's no pro in that term however I agree I want surgery as a one time thing.
Thanks for your help [emoji3]

Hi
Wondering if anyone can tell me what the time scale was, from first surgeon consultation until surgery date in the UK on NHS?
