Question:
Help !! I'm 7 months post op RNY and found out this morning that I'm Pregnant.

I'm thrilled that I'm Pregnant but also scared because this is an unplanned pregnancy (i was on the pill). Has anyone else had this experience. Lisa    — HSCLisa (posted on May 26, 2003)

A lady in our support group had twins! I think she was out about a year from her surgery when she got pregnant. She did great, but I know they monitored her nutrition closely.

Lisa, there are quite a few post-ops who have had healthy pregnancies under one year post-op and most, like you, did not plan it that way! There is a support group on yahoo for post-op pregnancies and if you go to spotlighthealth.com, morbid obesity, support groups, surgery support and ask the same question you will get some replies from those who have had pregnancies. I do know that they were monitored not only by their surgeons but by high risk pregnancy docs too during the pregnancy. You'll be fine...and congrats!

I know your concerns, I am only 5 months postop of open rny and 3 months pregnant with TWINS. So far everything is fine, they just monitor you closer, had my 12 week ultrasound Friday and said everything looks great...so good luck
