7 1/2 months post op - Now Pregnant

I am 7 1/2 months post op, I have lost 131 pounds and just found out I am pregnant.  My family doctor has told me that I am far enough out that there should not be a problem for the baby, but will need to be monitored very closely.

Any thoughts or suggestions.

No this was not planned.  We did take precautions, but some how ended up preggers.

 Hi Traci,

Looks like we are in the same boat girl.  I'm 8 months post op and just found out Friday that I'm expecting.  My appt w/ my RNY surgeon is on Wed, let's see what he tells me.  I'm hoping all is well and that baby comes out ok.  I've been reading up on this forum and articles and such and I think as far out as we are, both us and baby should be ok just have to make sure we get all our protein, water and supplements.  

I'm a little worried about the weight gain though.  we'll see how that goes. 

Congrats on your baby! :)

Thanks seems that there is 3 of us.  I have seen my doctor and she is referring me to McMaster university as I am also going to be 40 in December.

I am a little over 8 months out and found out im preggers last Sun. Not planned either but very welcome :) I met with my surgeon on thurs and he has me on extra vitamins and protein but he was very confident that the baby and I will be just fine through all this. I lost 140lbs (or 71%excess weight) already and he says that most his patients lose that much by a yr or 18months and then he would give them the ok to TTC. so when are you due? Im May 28

Glad to see that I am not alone.  I have lost 133lbs so far.  My due date is June 1, 2012

I've lost 136 lbs.  No idea on the due date, but I'm guessing I'm only about 4 weeks pregnant so in June sometime?  I'll keep ya posted.  I'm a little worried too because I'm going to be 37 in November.  We'll see what doc says on Wed...wish me luck :P

Good luck.  Where do you live?

 I'm in San Antonio, Texas. 

Cool, I am up here in Ontario Canada, near Toronto.
