Hi Everyone,

I have a problem I was hoping someone would know something about. First I am 5 months post Op and have lost 65-70 pounds. I found out yesterday I am pregnant, 6 weeks... I don't have a doctor here and I am just really nervous about what to do . Has anyone been in the same situation?

Any help would be greatly appricated!

Joey

((((((HUGS))))) Congratulations, but this is going to be a toughie for you, as it's best to avoid pregnancies for at least a year post op. This has to do with the fact that you'll be having a hard time getting in enough nutritionist/dietician that your baby needs while keeping on the losing road at the time span where you will lose best. Your eating will have to be very carefully planned, so you will need an obstetrician and nutrician who knows and understands about weightloss surgery, and has plenty of experience with patients like you.
That said, njmom is going to have a baby soon, she hasn't been around for a while, but maybe, you can PM her and ask her for pointers.

Hope everything goes well for you.

I know several people who have gotten pregnant during the looseing stages
