I just found out I am pregnant I am 4 months post-op. It is earlier than I expected but I am super happy about it. We tried for a year and a half pre-surgery with no luck and now we are pregnant with out even really trying. I'm still in shock a bit

Anyway... my question is what Vitamins your doctors have you on for pregnancy in addition to your post-op vitamins. I have talked with both my surgeon's office and my OB office and they are going to get back to me. For the time being I started a prescribed prenatal Vitamin from the ob office and am taking just over 1500mg Calcium citrate recommended by my dietician at my surgeons office. I am holing off on the vitamin b-12 and Vitamin A that I was taking until I hear back from my OB office. Any advice would be great. This is my first pregnancy and its hard to find advice from people who have had our surgery.

Thanks in advance

YAY YAY YAY!!!!

My husband and I are TTC, I too am trying to find information on Vitamins. This is what I have been told by my surgeon....

Take prenatal vitamins with additional calcium, stop taking the bariatric vitamins until you give birth, then go back on the bariatric vitamins.

I will be talking to my OBGYN, to confirm this.

I was affaird that I would OD on vitamins and wanted to make sure that I would be getting what I need and of course waht the baby will need.

Looking forward to hearing others peoples thoughts and comments....
