Post Rny Pregnancy



Recommended Posts

Did anyone get pregnant before the recommended 12-16 months? If so, how much weight gain? Any complications? Were you able to have natural childbirth?

Hello, I just came across this forum. I have a support group on FB and we have a couple of girls on there who became pregnant within months of having RNY. If you are interested talking to them, the group name is Pregnant after Weight Loss Surgery. Good Luck to you!

Hey Aqua! I had two post op pregnancies. I got pregnant with my first 14 months out. I had one complication and that was as soon as I got pregnant my hypertension came back so I was immediately high risk. I delived at 39 weeks, with a vaginal delivery and gained 25 pounds. I couldn't get the weight off though that was the hard part no matter what I did I couldn't lose it. Two years later I got pregnant with my son. Had gestational diabetes with him. Hypotension lol go figure right never thought I'd have low blood pressure. I had a vaginal delivery with him as well at 39 weeks 3 days. I'm more then happy to answer any questions you have. Let me know if I can help you any more! :) dawn

Hello - were u trying to get pregnant? Did you use any form of birth control?

Are you asking me? Yes both of my pregnancies were planned. I was told to wait at least 14 month after surgery to try and get pregnant so I started trying right a soon as I hit that mark. Lol

Hello,

I had my surgery in March 23rd this year and just found out that i'm pregnant just 3 months 10 days later. even after using contraception. Oh GOD i'm soo much worried now. Do you know anyone who is in the same situation like myself? I spoke with the GP and they referred me to the same hospital where i had my surgery. I'm so worried about what will happen. I have been trying for a baby for last 9 years before surgery and never god pregnant. but didn't want it to happen so soon after surgery. I have lost about 25kg after surgery and now my weight is 74kg. My diabetes and blood pressure both in control but i'm still worried. please help.

Hi, first of all congratulations to you. I'm on the same boat. Too much worried at the moment. Saw my OB, diabetic nurse, dietetian and midwife already. Had an ultrasound too. They are trating me as a high risk patient and will closely monitor me for the next 33 weeks. I'm now 7 weeks 3 days. They only saw the yolk sac on the u/s as it was too early to see a baby but assured me it was ok. They also told me check my diabetes abd bp at home. This is my first and i was also using condoms given by my gp. Where r u from? I'm from london, england. My dietetian said i will keep on loosing weight at it was supposed to be. So need to eat the foods that has most vits and minerals in it to dupport baby.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
