Hey! Congrats on the pregnancy! What a blessing. I definitely hear you about putting on weight with pregnancy. That's my biggest fear about pregnancy, but you know what they say--you have to make your "tool" work for you. I'll put you in my prayers. Let us know when the new addition gets here!! Is it a girl or a boy? Do you have a name picked out? Take Care, KT

Hi all, I just thought I would stop by for a visit and see how everyone is doing. I have been on obesityhelp, but mainly the post-op pregnancy board. Yuppers...at 10 months out, I found out I was expecting my 6th child! What a shock as I was on all sorts of fertility treatments for all my other children. None the less, we are all very excited to have another baby in the house. I am due in 4 short weeks. It was very scary because I was watching my weight creep up (I have gained 22 lbs.). I experienced hypogylcemic episodes for the last 2 trimesters, so the docs had me eating 35 grams of carbs every 2 hours! I cried and cried thinking I would blow up. But all seems to have turned out well. I am very afraid that I will fall back into the grazing mode after the baby is born, so I expect to be turning to all of you again for support, if you'll have me back! Sorry this post is so long...it's nice to see some familiar faces! Sherry

hey girl, your on my surgery date message board, i must have forgotten...lol...so i can see you here too, which is a good thing, not sure there is such a thing as too much sherri.....

Hi Patty, I just passed 17 months myself. I've been checking into plastic surgeons also. Up here, they want you to be within 20 lbs of your goal. If they were to do ps and you lose more, you wouldn't be as tight as you'd like. I'm 40 lbs from my goal so only 20 lb to go. Hubby took some sexy pics over the weekend and I looked at them and thought 'YUK! All that skin!!' and then I couldn't help but think 'well...at least it isn't full of fat anymore'. I have my surgeon picked out...which, I did alot of the research here on OH. I sent them a few emails and they sent me several brochures. I feel very confident in who I chose. So...guess that would be my first suggestion. Research, and email a few different ps (I emailed 5) and make your decision from that. Good luck...and don't be a stranger! Sherri 344/180/140

Well I wish you all the best and congrats... I knew what you were going to say before I even read this. ESP. LOL I bet this baby is a total suprise. I love being a mommy and I wish you all the happiness that comes along with it. Shannon
