I got pregnant 2 1/2 months post op. I had a very good pregnancy & delivery & a perfect baby. I had to be diligent about taking my vitamins and getting my protein and water in every day and I also had a lot of doctor appointments and ultrasounds just to make sure baby and I were doing well. Over all everything went perfectly.
Congratulations!

Sounds like you & I are in the same boat : ) I was 4 months post-op VSG, when I found out that I was pregnant...SURPRISE !!! My surgeon is very confident (way more than I was in the beginning) that everything will be just fine. He says that it's definitely a plus that we don't have the malabsorbation factor. So, at least, everything we can get in is absorbed/useful. Although as you can see from the previous posts, our RNY friends are doing great too : ) I am on a great prenatal vitamin (Prenate DHA) that is a capsule which is wonderful because I have a hard time with tablets. So, I was excited to find one that I tolerate so well. I am still early, but so far so good. I'm sure you are scared, nervous, & still surprised, but you'll do great !!! : )
I just had a revision to RNY, from Lapband. I know I will get a lot of sh*t for this here, but I am going to start TTC in a few months. If it happens immedietly (which I doubt), then I will be four months post op. Since I only have 25lbs to lose and am healthy otherwise, I do not see it as a problem. I know the vitamin requirements and will be following them religiously. Do not beat yourself up, just take care of yourself and your baby the best you can.
I also was told by my surgeons office that anyone who gets prego within 2 years post-op, has to see a high-risk DR as a precaution. More dr appts, better care, more fetal monitoring and monthly ultrasounds? Works for me
