Hi ladies! New here...
Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself as I plan to stick around this forum for awhile. I'm Stephanie, and my husband and I have recently decided to TTC baby #2. We have a 3 year old son and I'm a year out from surgery (revision to RNY in March, 2009). My weight has been stable where I am right now, so I think I'm at a good point to start TTC.
Anyway, that's me in a nutshell :) Hopefully I'll get to know all of you and what step you're in in this crazy process. Until then, my curiosity would just like to know what prenatals all of you are taking? Also, does anyone know how to change my surgeon?
Thanks in advance. :) Stephanie

Hi Stephanie!
I am new too. I wish you the best on trying to conceive!
As far as prenatal, I don't take any. I take a bariatric multi-vitamin called "Vita4Life". I took them before I got pregnant, and once I found out I was pregnant, I upped the dosage by 4 pills. (So I now take a total of 16 of them per day, instead of the regular 12)
I bought a container of prenatal vitamins, but after comparing the supplement facts of the prenatal to the supplement facts on my Vita4Life, I am actually getting more (and much better quality) amounts of supplements with adding the 4 additional pills to my daily regimen.
If you are interested, you can find them on-line at www.vita4life.net
As for the surgeon thing, I don't know... I am still trying to figure out how to update my profile as my profile pic is over 5 years old!
Take Care for now!
