Congratulations! I can't help with the WLS and pregnancy thing. Try using the search word pregnant or pregnancy to find posts on the subject

Congrats! There have been several women here who have had wee ones after GBS. I don't know if any are still around? I agree with Lcat, try a search - and keep us updated!

My husband is a Brit and he says "bubba" for baby. I got it from him. Hope everything is smooth sailing for you!

Congrats! I was 50 when I had my WLS, so no experience with being pregnant afterwards (thank the Lord! LOL), but want to wish you the best!
I understand from a friend you'll need to up your vitamins, check out liquid and sublingual styles with your GYN, up your calories, probably end up snacking several times daily, and they'll keep a closer eye on your bloodwork, but her bouncing baby boy is now in 1st grade and doing great! So is her 3 year old daughter.
She found her GYN through her bariatric team, they had people experienced in post WLS pregnancies.
Blessings and health for you and the bambino!
