Need Advise

[J3NNR 3]

I am almost a year out from my RNY bypass and I have done very well and have not had any complications. My husband and I have been talking about maybe trying to get pregnant in a couple of months. I go see my obgyn next month and I don't know what questions to ask. Does anyone have any advise/insight that has gotten pregnant after WLS?

When my husband and I first started trying to conceive, I spoke to my OBGYN and he told me that there is not much to be concerned about after WLS. Obviously getting really good nutrition and taking extra prenatal Vitamins are important and I would definitely discuss those topics. He told me the main thing he wants to avoid is for me to freak out because I will gain a little weight.

Thanks! Did you talk to your surgeon also or just your OB Dr?

Really don't have anyone to talk to about this. No one at my support group has gotten pregnant that I know of. And this would be our first time to try at all so everything is running through my mind.

I just spoke with my OBGYN. My surgeon is in a different city now. I should probably talk with a bariatric surgeon in town though...
