I had my gastric bypass wls on 10/17/14 and yesterday I found out I was pregnant, yay! Me and my husband are so happy. I'm just nervous about the weight gain, getting the proper nutrition and having a healthy baby. I'm curious... is there anything I should watch out for, health tips, pregnancy wls advice?? I'm new to this and would appreciate the input. Thanx!!

Congrats on being pregnant! I haven't had surgery yet and I'm getting the sleeve but just wanted to say Congrats! Being a mommy is the best feeling. Hope all goes well!

Congrats on the happy news!

Thanx u all! ????????????

Congratulations!! You definitely need to be monitored much more closely for the safety of you and baby. So they may deem you "high risk" just because you require extra monitoring. I don't know where you had your WLS done but your bariatric surgeon could be an excellent resource. See how familiar your gynecologist is in caring for a pregnant WLS patient. A visit to the Nutritionist may be a good idea as well so they can suggest an eating plan that is good for the 2 of you. Hydration is more important than ever. I know you will do great! Listen to your body mama...

Congrats!! That's so amazing. I definitely would not rely to heavily on advice from this site for your pregnancy.. (Not that people aren't knowledgable) As someone mentioned, you are automatically considered high risk and you need to advise your doctor right away and get a professional to monitor and care for you. This is so wonderful, enjoy it and find a great, well versed in wls OB!!
