Checking in to say hi!!
Hi all! I just wanted to say hi and see how things were for everyone. I'm doing well.....had a baby BOY on May 22---weighing 6 lb. 15 oz. (my girls were 9.1 and 8.12 before my WLS) He is absolutely beautiful and healthy. I'm trying to get a picture of him posted online here so you all can see him. I was a bit nervous about getting pregnant just 15 months after my WLS, but everything went really well. I gained from 145 to 160 and have since lost back down to 130. I found it quite difficult to eat much at a time, but he was very healthy! I did become anemic, with my iron getting down to 7.2, but its back up to 10 now---still anemic but getting better. My iron stores are extremely low (3) so I'm having to take iron pills to replenish them---next step will be iron shots. Had bone density scan last week and showed pre-osteoporetic symptoms in my back, so I'm not absorbing enough calcium either, so i'm on calcium supplements 3x a day also, as well as b-12 (sorta forgot to get my b-12 shots while I was preggy). Keep us in your prayers, as I have a biopsy on 8-16 on goiters on my thyroid....sorta scary....have to have surgery to have them removed....just dont know when yet. Dr. Duncan will do the surgery (through my armpit to keep me from having a scar on my neck) IF its benign. If its malignant, I'll have to go to an oncologist. I miss all of you and hope to hear from you soon. I dont get online much to check here--but would love to hear from my ole buddies---please email me at [email protected]
Love to you all......
