Any VSG'ers? What vits are you taking while pregnant?
Thanks for replying. That's all I'm on too...just wondering what others in the same boat were doing. I too got pregnant a little early post op. All's well so far though. I go for my 18-20 week ultrasound on Tuesday. Really excited...we have 4 adopted children...never thought we'd get pregnant. We have 2 boys and 2 girls...so this one will be a tie breaker...lol

Well, I had some vitamin issues initially post-op due to all the complications I had, so I am taking a lot more vites than you girls! I take 1 prenatal (2 when I remember), 2- 500mg calcium, 1- 10,000 Vit D sublingual, and 1- B12 sublingual daily. I also take 2 zantac daily because of my horrible heartburn. So far my #'s have been great and baby is doing awesome.

Hi there - congrats on your pregnancy! My nut advised me to take 4 calcium citrate (2 am, 2 pm), a multi in the am, and prenatal and iron in the pm. I thought it sounded like a lot, so I'm going to ask my OB to run bloodwork at my 7/26 appt.
I started at 324lbs and a size 26. After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011. My second daughter was born in September 2013. I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs. I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter. The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls. My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.
