Get to a doctor- asap. My surgeon told us that we would have to have an
inline put in and go to the hospital daily to be fed through our veins.
Good luck!!

There is a YAHOO OSSG group devoted to post-op pregnancy. Go to
www.yahoo.com. Choose groups, then do a search on OSSG pregnancy. Many
women have had babies post-op, even in the first few months when you are
not 'supposed' to. Make sure your surgeon knows about it and your ob/gyn
knows about your surgery and you'll do just fine. Congratulations!

Jan you will do fine honey! One of my friends got pregnant at 6 months
post op, and she had a few problems, none of which had to do with her
surgery. Don't panic, and like the others said see your OBGYN and your
surgeon know that they can follow you close and make sure that you get all
you and the baby need to be healthy. I bet that you will do just fine!
Congratulations!!

Congratulations! While now is not the ideal time....babies are always
wonderful! I got pregnant at 9 months post op and had a healthy pregnancy
and a perfect baby girl. Stay in close contact with your surgeon and OB
Dr. and do what they say. I had to eat more often...almost
constantly...and still never gained any weight but the baby was fine. Good
luck!

My sister became pregnant six months after surgery. She delivered a very
healthy baby girl on 11/29/02. She weighed 8 pounds! My sister consulted
with a dietician as soon as she found out she was pregnant. The dietician
had her on supplements from the very beginning. She had to be careful, but
everything worked out fine! You will do the same! I wish you the best in
your pregnancy. :0)

hi there! congrats on your pregnancy!:) i would say eat more often and if
you find there are things you cant keep down due to morning sickness or
whatever, find the food that agree with you even if they happen to have
carbs in them, dont worry about losing weight again till after baby. then
youll have plenty of time to get back on schedule. i wish you the best of
luck! you must be soooo happy :)
