Has anyone had open surgery? I have a lawsuit pending with my surgeon so asking him is out of the question. About scar tissue, when I'm laying on my back and sit straight up, I get sharp pains under the incision site and laying on my left side hurts the scar (scar tissue?) as well. Is this normal? Also have any ladies had open surgery and had any babies post op? I worry that since the scar tissue is still hurting that as I get further along, the baby will be up against the scar tissue.

I could've worded this better but I hope y'all understand what I'm trying to convey.

I have not had open surgery but I just wanted to say I hope you find out what your seeking and good luck on the pregnancy. I think about you often!

No. I didn't know they still did this. I hope you find some answers.

Can you get a second opinion from another Surgeon?

how soon after surgery did you get pregnant?? I thought that was dangerous until 12-18 months out. was it planned?

I got pregnant about 10-12 days post op. it was not planned and I was on birth control pills. It's not really dangerous just more difficult.

Is it bad I'm secretly hoping I get pregnant sooner? I have always had issues with fertility. It took me 3.5 years with my first and 1 year with my second. I would give anything or a surprise! I just hope of it does happen its a boy. Lol

No it's not bad. I wanted another baby too and tried for 13 years before the surgery. I just wish I was further along postop. I'm not used to my pouch yet so throwing up from morning sickness with a brand new tiny pouch while trying to get in enough nutrients to sustain a growing life is real hard. I can't really exercise because I need to hold on to the little calories that I manage to consume. Can't buy new clothes cuz belly is gonna get bigger. Don't think I'm not grateful because I really feel blessed, I just wish it could've happened at least a year-18 mos postop. I say you should wait at least a year before trying to conceive.

I was sick with both my girls so I understand. I can't imagine having this new pouch and having the hypermesis I had.

I have a 14 year old but after him I was unable to get pregnant again until now. I tried clomid and femara and was going to try ivf before I decided to get RNY. For some women I guess it resets your reproductive system as well because omg, I didn't expect this at all!

I had open surgery, my scar hurts all the time if I lie down for a while, and sit up, I get stabby pains...My scar is awful and I think it's still healing underneath. 6 months post op.

Thanks for the input. I thought something was wrong. I guess it takes longer to heal with open surgery.
