4 Years post-op- and positive Home Pregnancy tests!

I feel like I am losing my mind!!! Doctors have always told me that it would be very difficult for me to conceive. I guess losing over 200 lbs. tends to kick the reproductive system in the ass?

I have SO many questions! Does my actual weight loss surgeon need to be involved in my prenatal care? What about my diet should change and what should stay the same. I don't see how only eating a tiny bit of food can be good for a baby.....but I guess maybe it is OK? VSG'ers have been doing it forever, right? lol.

I just started my new job about 6 weeks ago, and my insurance starts in one week. So I have to wait to see my gynecologist. I think I am going out of my mind with the waiting/worrying. I wonder if they will consider me a high risk pregnancy? With my acid reflux problems, I have to take Prilosec every day-- is it safe for the baby?

I feel like Juno...... "That little pink plus sign is so unholy....."

First of all Congrats! I know how it feels to want a baby so bad! That's the main reason I'm wanting this surgery. But back to you...I have read MANY stories where sleeve patients have had happy healthy pregnancies/babies! The main thing is to keep up with your Vitamins, especially pre-natal. I would talk to a nutritionist or maybe even your pcp to see what you need to be doing/eating. But you are definitely not alone! I would google or YouTube search pregnancy after VSG and see what you find! Congrats again!

I am 8 months pregnant...got pregnant 1.5 years out just about. She is in the 50th percentile for growth...so average. That is cool by me...She is sucking me dry of iron...so make sure you are taking supplements with iron...no Iron and Calcium together. I think you can't take Prilosec...you have to see what you can take. I should be on something, but I am being a trooper and just sucking it up. I want a prevacid so bad.
