Getting pregnant after WLS..

KimberlyBryant

Hi everyone!! Wondering if anyone has had children after the WLS.. here is a little background about me... I had the gastric bypass in January of 09 after 3 years of trying to get pregnant and having multiple miscarriages. With every miscarriage i went further and further into depression and gained more and more weight ending up at 308. My OB told me i wouldnt carry to term being at my current weight. I knew i had to take more drastic measures.. Well in Jan 09 i got the surgery.. I asked my Ob for birth control pills trying to stay with in the 18 months of not getting pregnant after surgery and he told me " well dont worry about you, you dont ovulate you wont get pregnant" Stupid man obviously i ovulate i freakin have been pregnant 4 times in the past 3 years! Idiot.. well low and behold I found out 2 week later that i was pregnant.. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl December of 2009.. My weight went from 308 at surgery down to 198 during pregnancy and then 222 when i delivered.. in June of 2010 I got pregnant again.. My weight was at 189. I gave birth to my handsome son Mandon in March of 2011. I weighed 235. In October of 2011 i got pregnant again and miscarried 6 weeks later.. i got pregnant again right afterwards in November 2011 and Had a baby girl August of this year ( 2012) my weight when I got pregnant with her was 209. I delivered her at 245.. My current weight at 7 weeks postpartum is 225... I am having body image issues.. i still feel like i look like i did when i was 308lbs.. I hate my body.. I wouldnt trade my children for ANYTHING! But i sure would like to look in the mirror and like what i see..
