Got pg at 6 mo post-op...healthy baby

I lost 120 pounds in the first 6 mo post op.  Then I got pg.  At first I was scared to gain weight, but once I had to start seeing specialists for both me and the baby I stopped caring about my weight and started caring about our health. When I was 250 pounds pg with my DD I had NO complications, and now 160 pounds I was a walking list of problems.  They found I had a genetic disorder that causes blood clots, and I had to give myself daily blood thinner injections.  I also had low iron and b12 which I saw a hematologist for, I luckily avoided transfusions... when I was about 16 weeks pregnant I started seeing a specialist because of my bypass and blood clotting disprder and they found the baby had enlarged kidneys, so I was monitored very closely they duration of my pregnancy.  At 36 weeks I went into preterm labor which they stopped with a shot.  I made it to my scheduled repeat c/s date of May 3rd and had a healthy baby boy.  We are still monitoring his kidneys and all my levels, but so far all is well.  Idk if my rough pg was related to my wls, but I never had any complications pre-surgery with my daughter.... just make sure you see every doctor and run every test!  My first batch of bloodwork they had to take 27 vials of blood!  Now all I have to do is convince my husband to start trying again.... I want one more, but he is worried about me being pregnant again... so we will see!

My poor cousin lost soooo many babies including her final set of twins - one at 3 months and the other at 5 months.  She was adopted and was not aware of a genetic clotting issue that terminated all of her pregnancies.  Her last pregnancy she was finally treated with blood thinners and went on to have a healthy baby girl.  She was 43 at the time and had no WLS.  All pregnancies are different.

It is suggested that WLS post-ops wait until at least 18 or 24 months before TTC, But there are many people here who have had oops much earlier and went on to have healthy pregnancies.  I myself would not have chanced it and especially with a malabsorptive proceedure.  Stuff happens though ready or not and you just do the best you can and when you get another chance you do better - like for you, make sure you have no deficiancies starting out.  All Best, Layla
