I'm sorry if you think this is harsh, but WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING
ASKING SUCH A QUESTION HERE??? Besides my being astonished that you would
allow yourself to get pregnant so soon after WLS and being such a high BMI
to start with, WHY are you asking for help about something that so
OBVIOUSLY is an EMERGENCY and requires a call to your OB/GYN, surgeon and
possibly 911 here on a low-traffic message board?? Are you NUTS?? Or are
you just a troll trying to start something?

i totally agree with Diana. I can't understand it when people have a true
emergency and waste precious time sitting on the computer begging for help
that none of us is qualified to give. The rest of you, call us rude if you
want to but this is sooooooooooooo a DUHHHHHHHH thing.

I have to agree with the other posters who responded. PLEASE call your
surgeon, PCP, OB/GYN, or get yourself to an emergency room. DON'T WAIT!!
I had severe abdominal pain (I wasn't pregnant) and it turned out to be a
small bowel obstruction that required surgery. I do want to comment though
on the harshness of the other posters. Telling this woman that she is
"Nuts" or that she is doing a "duuuhhh thing" is quite
mean if you ask me. There are much better ways of encouraging this woman
to get the help that she needs without resorting to name calling and making
her feel inferior. How do you expect her to post a not so urgent question
in the future if she gets these kinds of responses on a question that is so
obviously an urgent situation? If you ask me, I feel you two owe her a
deep apology. And if I ever post a question here on this board, I would
apppreciate it if you two refrain from responding. Thank you and Good luck

I agree...CALL your doctor ASAP!
As for the other posters...I doubt very seriously she got pregnant on
purpose that soon but accidents do happen and it's something she's dealing
with! I have three children and the 2nd and 3rd were BOTH conceived while
I was on birth control I was taking the pill (and NEVER missed a dose)
when I got pregnant with my son and getting Depo shots when I got pregnant
with my daughter. Needless to say after that we went with a more permenant
birth control. But, it happens...calling her names is not helping the
situation!

La Williams...please let us know how things turned out. Did you find out
what caused the pain? What did your doc say? I hope all is well...I'm
sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

i stand by my post and as far as her posting in the future on obviously
urgent matters, her time would be better spent on the phone to her doc that
sitting on a message board. DUHHHH was about the nicest thing I could say
. believe me, I refrained from what I really wanted to say to someone that
would do this.(waste time) Don't worry, I won't answer any of your
questions or comments because you apparently don't like answers that tell
it like it is. I didn't say anything about her getting pregnant because I
know accidents can and do happen. I was only concerned that if it was
truly an emeergancy, she had no business wasting time on here.

La-
I am just over 5 months post op. I too am pregnant. I am 10 weeks
pregnant. As for the other post who was not very nice, sometime even with
precautions you can get pregnant. I was doing everything i was suppose to
to not get pregnant, but it still happened. As for the abdominal pain, i
am going through the exact same thing. First they (drs) thought it was a
gallbladder attack (thats when i found out i was pregnant in the ER), then
they thought it was an ectopic pregnancy and now theyt don't know but
prescribed pain medicine to help me get through until they can run more
tests.
I am sorry you are feeling so much pain. I am also sorry that you came
someplace that you thought would be safe to ask a question. I can give you
a very freidnly website to go to for postops who are pregnant and you will
find on this site that there are quite a few people who are in our same
situation.
La take care and see a doctor as soon as you can and may you have good luck
on the rest of your pregnancy and congrads. I know for me it is a miracle
to be pregnant because I was told I couldn't have anymore kids.
here's the link to the site i was talking about:

If it doesn't work email me and i will help. Take care.
