I need advice-

I had my open RNY done back in March of 2004. I have managed to keep the weight off. It does go up and down give or take 5 pounds. I got married in Nov 2005. My husband and I want to try to have a baby. This is exciting but I am very worried. I do not want to gain all the weight I lost back. Do you have any ideas on how I can keep the weight off ? I am planning to gain only the baby weight. Nothing more. Is there anybody else that has gotten pregnant after they had they open RNY surgery?

Sharon, it sounds like you are doing great. I know several of our WLS group have indeed had babies since surgery, but I can't give you any advice. There is however a forum on this site devoted to pregnancy after WLS. You should be able to find a lot of information there. Click FORUMS at the top of this page, and you should be able to find it. Best of luck to you! Joy

Ditto Joy - and I remember you, Sharon, so glad to see you back here! Best of luck with this, I know of several women who have had babies after they lost their weight and almost all managed to have a healthy beautiful baby and not regain. The trick is behavioral change - and it sounds like you've done that. Keep us posted - by posting often! Reenie
