Question:
Has anyone gotten pregnant after having RNY (Lap) 3 months post -Op?

If so, How did the pregnancy go.Was the baby at a normal weight and were there any complications?    — [Anonymous] (posted on April 25, 2001)

Haven't heard it.. imagine it could happen.. how scary.... it seems so many of the nutrients start showing dropping rates by then. Most often the Drs state severely use birth control during the first year. Talk w/ the surgeon, your physician and surely a nutritionist to make sure you get all you can get in to ensure a healhty baby etc...

I am pregnant right now, but I waited a year till my weight loss had stopped before I got pregnant. That is the recommended safe way to do it. Of course, accidents do happen, and I have heard of women getting pregnant as soon as a couple weeks after their WLS. If you are pregnant now, you will probably have to see a high-risk OB, and have frequent blood tests and ultrasounds to make sure all is ok. I recommend signing up at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OSSG-pregnant to meet a great group of women who are having babies after WLS.
