Hi sorry, I replied below but just realized I didn't answer all of your questions. I talked about the weight gain and loss...and gain again...but no complications at all. I went to a high risk OBGYN on the advice of my RNY surgeon, and she basically just monitored my baby's growth but sending me for an ultrasound each month..all was fine! I also didn't do the glucose test, instead I went to a diabetes clinic (I didn't have gestational diabetes), but they taught me to test my own blood. So I was given a glucose meter and had to record my blood sugar levels before and after every meal for about 2 weeks and then when that was ok I just had to randomly check my blood a few times a week for the remainder of my pregnancy.
This pregnancy was the easiest of all 3..not sick at all, super super easy pregnancy...he was born at 40 weeks, 1 day and weighed 8 lbs, 2 oz. Smallest of all my babies..the first was 8 lbs 9 1/2 oz and my second was 10 lbs 1 oz. Easy easy delivery too..but they say thats the case as you have more kids.
Hope I answered all of your questions!
Hi I had a baby post RNY. It was my 3rd baby, but 1st one post op. I was 18 months post op when I got pregnant and just over 2 years post op when I had him in Oct 2012. I gained about 24 lbs while pregnant and took a great vitamin called preg-vit, it's covered by my health benefits thru work too. You take 1 vitamin in the morning and 1 at night. I even had my Dr. prescribe them to me for the year that I breastfed as well as ever since. They have everything I need and like I said, covered by my drug plan. I lost all the baby weight almost immediately and kept it off for a year, thanks to breastfeeding..but..sadly I have gained all of it back since October 2013 when I stopped breastfeeding :(
Trying for another baby now, which will be baby #4...I have a 20 year old a 13 year old a 18 month old...wish me luck!
Thanks. I'm active on other boards here so I posted it on the RNY boards too (since that's the type of surgery I had) and got a few helpful responses. I noticed a lot of the boards on here aren't very active. I'm going to check that other site too. Thanks.

Good luck i have been asking this question no one write me or helps lol i got this site from my dr he said ppl will help which was a joke he gave me another site where they are wonderful its called Bariatrics Pal. I wrote something about multivitamins about 3 weeks ago and someone wrote and said that I need to ask more questions that pop for people to answer I didn't think the site was about that I thought the site was to help any question even if it didn't pop
For those of you who had children post op how did you deal with the weight gain? Were there any RNY related complications? Did you need to take more vitamins? If you had children before RNY was the pregnancy post RNY much different?
