There is someone here that had twins after WLS.

I know I just had my one year check up with Dr. A. and was cleared to try to get preggers weight wise. I have other factors that he wants me to wait over. Dr. A. says to wait until the weight stablizes to try. Usually about 18 months. Mine did it after 7. ***mutters "stupid paxil"*** Hey, I am still down 200 (from my high) when I get to my low and 195 when I bounce up.

Good luck with all of this.

How high up do they go in sizes? I am on the border of "normal" and plus sizes. I can get into a 16 if it's cut right or an 18. I have wanted to stop there since we go past when we go to and from the mall.

Sher,

I have actually found th perfect forum after much searching.


No plans to get pregnant for awhile after surgery, but considering what a life change the surgery it is, it is kind of the domino effect....everything after will be different.


Thanks for the well wishes!

They are stores that resell used or sometimes new clothes for a profit, you take your clothes to them and they resell them sharing part of the proceeds with you.  I have sold some of my clothes there but buy many more things because of the great prices, many pieces of clothes still have the tags hanging on them.

What's a consignment shop?

It's not a sign of weakness to seek help when you need it.

Hello -
Welcome! I didn't have a post op pregnancy with RNY but did with the band and posted quite frequently on the Post Op Pregnancy Board - there are hundreds of women who have had healthy - normal pregnancies after RNY and healthy babies resulting from the pregnancy - they have a ton of information on that board regarding getting pregnant and during pregnancy - it is a very supportive and wonderful group of women and it is a very active forum - I highly recommend it.

Put your mind at ease - the majority of women that I've encountered have had no issues - the only difference is with the gestational diabetes testing - you can'[t do the glucose test because you'll dump but the women there can tell you what you'll need to do when the time comes.

I'm going for a revision from the band to the RNY so am in the same boat as you right now - going for the tests and stuff - it sucks to have to do it all over again but it is what it is!

Best of luck to you on your journey and congratulations on your recent marriage!
Warm Regards - Tammy -

Topic: Consigment Shopping....New Pic
For the past year consignment shopping has become my passion, a full bag of clothes for less then 30 dollars is always a triumph.  During the month of February, my favourite consignment shop in East Windsor CT, Uptown Consignments, had dollar days, where they had a big table filled with clothes all priced at $1.  I have a new pic today showing the fully lined leather pants I got for $1, they are so soft and fit perfectly, I was thrilled.  The jacket in the picture I bought from their sister store in Rocky Hill a few months ago, I don't recall the price, but it was cheap or I wouldn't have bought it.  lol lol  Its so much fun shopping now because I can buy unique stuff and not pay an arm and a leg, I wish I had found these stores when I first started losing weight. 

I posted this on the main board as I spend 99% of my time online there, but I thought I would post this over on CT also so I could share these great stores and we could make a list of all the great consignment stores in the state.

My favs.
