pregnancy

hi i'm from indiana but someone told me I could come here for post op pregnancy information. i just found out i'm 8 wks pregnant and 1yr and 3 months and a little nervous. if you've had any experience with this please send me a message

Karrie, I'm assuming you had RNY and not a lap band, as the band could just be deflated. If you are 15 months out you should be able to safely carry a pregnancy. However you must see an OB/GYN pronto, making sure they feel comfortable managing your case. If not you need to be referred on to a high risk OB. Obviously vitamin supplementation is going to be of paramount importance. Good luck! Dr. C The Deaconess Surgical Weight Loss Center Cincinnati, Ohio (513) 559-2545

You might also want to post to the Postop Pregnancy board here at OH. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/amosforums/postop_pregnancy/ Good luck!

One of the topics being covered at the ObesityHelp conference in Cincinnati is pregnancy.. maybe you can get some answers that weekend. There are alot of docs and other professionals attending this conference. If there is ever a time for you to ask your questions or find new vitamins and or protein that is definately the time and the place.

Unfortunately, the Original poster (unless she comes back to read) won't get this reply because you pushed the reply buttton under my post (((HUGS))), Toots

I sent her an email too Toots..
