supposed to have my IUD removed and start ttc this friday... scared to death

Okay, gals... I need some support here, my husband and I have decided to start TTC, I have 5 year old from my previous marriage, and he was born pre-RNY and TT. I had my RNY in March of 09 and my TT last December. I saw my surgeon just last Friday and he said my vitamin levels and protien is all good  so no current consernes there, and he also says that there is no reason I can't have a healthy comfortable pregnancy even after my TT, he said that most of the time there is very little to no reason for a TT revision after pregnancy but that if I want to have it done he will do it. ( he did both my surgeries). My fears come from the fact that my family (my parents and grandparents) are not at all in support of me having another baby. They fear that the baby will be malnourished or that it will be born with problems due to my RNY. They also are constantly telling me how my body will be ruined, the effects of my TT will be wasted and I will be right back where I started before any of my surgeries. We've made up our mind and we know that this is what we want but I wanted to talk to some of you who have been where I am. If anyone has any tips, advice, or insight into this situation please feel free to PM me or respond here...Thanks!

I had a lot of people that were not supportive of me becoming pregnant. All the "why would you put your body through the weight loss to just have a baby" and "do you have to have the surgery reversed now that you are pregnant?" People just are misinformed about a LOT of things when it comes to weight loss surgery. They think for some reason that we should all be neutered or something! Sorry, just makes me mad about that.

As far as the malnourished part, my baby is actually measuring larger than my dates by 2 1/2 weeks. They said I am doing everything great, and that I am having a far better pregnancy this time around then I did with the two pre surgery pregnancies!

Good luck and don't let people get you down!

Thanks for your reply, I think your dead on about the misinformation thing...My family was totally against me having weightloss surgery when I first started talking about it as well. So i'm not stranger to doing things aginst their wishes...but hey they can't live my life for me and I can't live mine for them...so I'm going through with this...

So did you have TT also?

No, I knew I wanted another baby so I decided to wait on the TT. I know there is at least one on here that has though.

My family was against the surgery as well.
