I had gastric bypass 12/30/14 and had a lot of completions such as a LEAK. I still have my feeding tube and a drain. My leak is very small as of 5/9/15. My question is I am worried I maybe pregnant and with me still healing could it make me have a miscarriage, due to not getting all the nutrition I need. My stupidity for not being more careful since I am still healing. I haven't talked to my Dr yet just waiting a little longer to be for sure.

Starting weight 297, Current 199

From what I've read, you're probably more at risk for having a small baby than a miscarriage. The tiny new embryo doesn't need much to grow on. I was horribly nauseated for both my pregnancies and didn't eat well as a result, and the kiddos were fine. BUT, you need to get to your OB and your surgeon ASAP and do whatever you can to get the nutrition you need for a growing little one. I wish you good luck.

P.S. There are some pregnancy tests that can tell if you are pregnant 6 days before your period is due, you might want to run out and grab one.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
