Gastroschisis represents a congenital defect characterized by a defect in the anterior abdominal wall through which the abdominal contents freely protrude. There is no overlying sac and the size of the defect is usually less than 4 cm. The abdominal wall defect is located at the junction of the umbilicus and normal skin, and is almost always to the right of the umbilicus.
has any one dealt with this issue?
one of the causes is said to be vitamin deficiency and Mal nutrition.

So sorry to hear that :( BUT try to not get too stressed or worried. That condition is essentially a hernia. Many babies are born with them and do just fine, although many do need surgery. I don't know anyone who didn't have great success with the surgery though.
I'm sure your doctors will keep a close watch on your baby and get you set up with the right treatment. I'm sure you know this...but I would make sure my vitamin/mineral levels are good and that I eat high quality food.( this is hard for me because I puke my guts out for most of the pregnancy) I also want to let you know that this can happen to any momma and any baby, not just WLS affected people.

My son had one and it corrected itself. He will be 1 on May 13th and all is good.
Good luck!
Good luck!
My best friends son was born with this condition and is doing great now. When she found out we did a lot of research to find out why, and never heard about the vitamin deficiency and Mal nutrition. Wish her MD would have mentioned that, but I know she was always diligent about her vitamins and diet (she was not a WLS patient though). I will keep you in my thoughts and hope for a fast recovery.
