Is a Healthy Pregnancy Possible After Gastric Bypass Surgery?

When a woman in the child bearing years undergoes gastric bypass surgery to lose weight one of the first things she will hear from the nay-sayers is that after surgery she cannot have a healthy pregnancy because of presumed nutritional deficiencies. The contrary is true. Morbid obesity results in a high rate of complicated pregnancies and a high rate of miscarriage. Women who become pregnant after achieving weight loss with gastric bypass generally have lower risk pregnancies than morbidly obese women.

The United States Surgeon General lists several reproductive complications associated with pregnancy in women who are obese. Complications include an increased risk of death in both the baby and the mother and increases the risk of maternal high blood pressure by 10 times. In addition to many other complications, women who are obese during pregnancy are more likely to have gestational diabetes and problems with labor and delivery.

The Surgeon General concludes that Infants born to women who are obese during pregnancy are more likely to be high birth weight and, therefore, may face a higher rate of Cesarean section delivery and low blood sugar (which can be associated with brain damage and seizures). Obesity during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of birth defects, particularly neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.

In a study by Dr. Alan C. Wittgrove, past president of the American Society of Bariatric Surgery and pioneer of the laparoscopic technique, post-gastric bypass pregnancy indicates fewer risks than commonly reported by women who are obese during pregnancy. His study was conducted with nurse-practitioner Leslie Jester who had a low-risk pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby after gastric bypass surgery.

The Wittgrove Center has an active patient list of over 2000 people. The patients are informed to contact the Center when they become pregnant. In the study 41 women in the patient population became pregnant. Using personal interview, questionnaire, and review of perinatal records, pregnancy-related risks and complications were studied.

The study found less risk of gestational diabetes, macrosomia, and cesarean section than associated with obesity. There were no patients with clinically significant anemia.

Dr. Wittgrove concluded, Since the patients had an operation that restricts their food intake, some basic precautions should be taken when they become pregnant. With this in mind, our patients have done well with their pregnancies. The post-surgical group had fewer pregnancy-related complications than did an internally controlled group that were morbidly obese during their previous pregnancies.

A Holiday From Hell

Have you ever been on a holiday from hell? Now I am not sure how you have answered this question but I have just come back from one. I am now able to laugh about some of things that we had to endure and I am hoping that by writing about the experience will give me yet more therapy. I certainly hope you never have to go through such an array of difficulties in the future.

My family and I were very much looking forward to our annual two week holiday, jetting off from flood ridden England to a some what sunnier climate was just what the doctor ordered.

I felt like I deserved the break after working very hard in my chosen career in the first seven months of the year and was sure that the rest of the family were also due a wonderful break.

What made the whole trip even more exciting was the fact that we were returning to the same hotel and resort that we had visited the previous summer, this was in Menorca. The reason we had decided to go back was quite simply because of the excellent time we had had their the first time, all in all we did not think that we could have got much better.

From the first moment when we arrived it was obvious things were not right. This lovely hotel had seemingly been left to the dogs. The sparkle had disappeared to be replaced by dirty walls and a new set of bland colours. We quickly learned that there were new owners of the hotel, owners it seemed of a much lower standard than what had been in charge before.

Our room was, in our opinion, dirty. The food was no more than basic, the entertainment was scarce and the customer service was worse than poor.

Where as last year the hotel had been aimed at attracting families, this year it seemed full of yobs. I did try to complain about the noise but nothing was resolved.

To cap things my wife fell down some steps and broke her left leg, I am sure this was due to a hotel leak, but my wife insisted on taking it no further.

I could continue but feel as though I am going to start to cry! I am now glad to be back in the UK.

If you are ever in this situation this would be my advice:

1. Put in a complaint to your holiday rep.

2. Ask to be upgraded to a better room.

3. Tell the hotel owner that you work for the press and that this would make an interesting story for the folks back home.

4. Make the most of the holiday and learn from the experience by doing more checks the next time.

There are now, I have only just discovered, a number of websites where you can rate different hotels from around the world. I have just posted my ratings for this hotel and gave them a one out of five for each category. I am hoping that this will deter and warn other people from going to this shoddy place.

The Art of Seduction

Seduction is a question of subtle strategy with one ultimate goal - to have sex with someone.

The desire for sex is powerful, for some it can be as powerful as the need to eat and breath. Seduction is the road we take to achieve sexual satisfaction.

While the ultimate goal is to have sex, there are lots of smaller goals that need to be reached along the road to the sexual surrender of our chosen partner.

For some, the thrill of seduction lies in the chase rather than the conquest. The excitement of wanting and pursuing someone can give a sense of satisfaction in itself. For others, it's the knowledge that another persons sexual attentions are focused on them that gives that electric thrill. Those who thoroughly enjoy the chase are generally people with plenty of self-confidence. Their belief in themselves increases the likelihood of success.

Those who are less self-confident usually find seduction far more difficult. How can you convince a member of the opposite sex to believe in you if they look upon yourself as being unattractive?

It's important that you choose the right person to seduce. This is more a matter of instinct than anything else, but most of us endeavour to make conversation, or at least some eye contact, with a potential partner who we consider to be about as attractive as we feel we are.

Once you've sought out your 'prey', you have to decide whether the time and/or situation is right for seduction. If the object of your passion is somebody you see on a regular basis, the time/place being wrong may very well add to the thrill. If you're getting the right feedback, the knowledge that the other person is interested but that you can't do anything about it just yet can increase the feelings of arousal and excitement.

But how do you know that he's interested? The best clues come from reading body language. Non-verbal signals are far better indicators of how a person feels about you than anything they may actually say verbally. Those with an open posture are usually more available than those who stand with their arms crossed. The eyes are the biggest give-away when it comes to seduction. If he returns you gaze, and especially if he holds eye contact with you longer than you'd normally expect, then chances are you're on to a winner. Trust your instincts. You'll 'feel' whether he's interested or not. Small gestures and tone of voice tell us a lot about how the other person feels about us.

Flirt. Did I really need to mention that? Flirting is used in two ways. We flirt with others to remind our partner that we still need to be wooed by him, but when used for seduction, it's a means of keeping the other person interested and aroused, as well as letting them know that they are unlikely to be rejected. Men, who are generally the pursuers, are highly dependent on your signals to reassure them that they are 'onto something'. Playing hard-to-get isn't particularly attractive to men unless you're sending out enough signals to assure him that you are 'gettable' and that the chase will be worth it in the end.

Once you've made contact with him, you'll need to let him know where the encounter is likely to be heading. People have very different ideas of what sex should be, so it's important that you both know that you're looking for the same things. This doesn't mean that you should just blurt out "I'm a dominatrix, how d'ya fancy being whipped?", or anything else quite as obvious. You can, and it might work, but in general, the subtle approach is more likely to get you what you want. Men generally take the lead in this area, asking questions and trying to access whether you'd make a satisfactory sex partner. Follow his lead. The questions probably won't be direct (depending upon the man), but they will be based around 'self-disclosure'. He tells you some, you tell him some. People typically discuss sex in a light-hearted, abstract manner when accessing a potential partner, testing each other in a non-committal way.

Now that you're speaking, you have to sustain his interest. Two people who may have been attracted to each other visually, may not have the right chemistry to move along the road of seduction once mouths have been opened. Look for signs of acceptance or rejection. If you pick up on any signs of rejection, don't waste your time on something that is very unlikely to happen, no matter how much you fancy him. There are plenty more available males about just waiting to be seduced.

If you're still doing fine and the signals are good, it's time to move onto the final yielding. One of you must surrender. In all probability it will be you, because even if you initialised the seduction, he will probably have taken over the role of pursuer somewhere along the line. The roles of 'hunter' and 'prey' have been decided through thousands of years of evolution, and usually fall naturally into place. Surrender and enjoy!

How To Make A Lasting Impression

How many times have you felt the urge to impress a girl you've just met ? I'm talking about the kind of burning need that you feel, the compulsive urge that tells your brain that you've got to impress this girl at any cost; the kind of impression that leaves your imprint in her mind. Catch my drift ???

For starters, you've got to be well groomed; appearance plays an important role in the formation of first impression. Your appearance is the first perception that anyone has of you, so, your clothes speak for you to a certain degree.

Ponder on this: How many times has a well dressed lady caught your eye when you are out walking in the streets? Well, you don't have a clue about the lady and YET she caught your eye so, what she is wearing is the thing that is doing the communication here It is all the better if you come packaged with good looks and a great body but let's get real, not many men are blessed with that so; suffice to say that well groom is the way to go.

Once that is settled, you got to work on perfecting the art of small talk. Small talk creates a window of opportunity for you to make a lasting impression with the person you are talking to. The one thing that you need to bear in mind is to stay clear from the typical senseless drivel. Strive instead to be an interesting conversationalist. A good way to start would be to scan the newspaper headline everyday; newspaper headlines always make good conversation starters.

Project yourself as an interesting conversationalist by choosing topics of interest. These topics can range from current events to an upcoming movie or concert. Take note that an upcoming movie or concert would make an excellent prelude to asking for a date.

It would be great if you have a story to tell that relates to the conversation on hand. Telling a story not only creates association; it also piques her interest in you and subconsciously this association (you + the story and conversation at hand) is being filed into her memory subconsciously. As such, when she comes across the same situation or object again in the near future, she would be instantly reminded of you. Now that is the kind of impression you'd like to leave a girl with.

It gets better if you can make her laugh It'll put you on good terms with her and she's definitely more likely to remember you when you make her laugh. Laughter also makes her more relax and comfortable around you as laughing releases the feel good hormone. So, go on out there, tickle her funny bone and you are more likely to walk away with her number and chances are she'll remember you when you call.

All said and done, you still have to come across as being comfortable with yourself when you are doing all these. Don't fake it ! Women can detect it As long as you are yourself and not pretending to be someone you are not, with a little humor, a dose of sensitivity and a lot of confidence you'll definitely go places with her !!!

Scrapbooking Baby's Name

When a baby is born there is a wealth of photos and treasures with which to scrapbook this very special time. Ideas abound for ideas on how to present the scrapbook for the big event. Traditional layouts include pastel tones of pinks or blues, ribbons, buttons, and whatever other embellishments are fitting for the occasion. Beautiful craft decorations of miniature rattles, shoes, and teddy bears all find a perfect home in a babys album.

It is not unusual to find pages showing a birth that include baby and various family members, babys first bath, and many more such special first moments in the babys life. Not so commonly presented is a page celebrating the babys name. Naming your baby is a very important decision and so deserves a place of honor in any album celebrating the life of a child.

Along with a photo of baby the chosen names will be the main feature on the layout. Make sure to include first and middle names, as well as the surname. Often parents are choosing to hyphenate their names when marrying. Including the babys surname will provide a soft but clear record of your babys legal name for the sake of visitors, family, and friends.

Be sure to add in journal notes about the names. What significance do the names have? Maybe the names were chosen because of family tradition. Perhaps it was because of a particular family member, so write a brief story about why you chose to honour the relative in this way, and perhaps include a small photo of the person. This is especially nice when the person the baby is named after has passed away prior to the birth. Your child will love to see the person for whom they were named. Perhaps there are extra details about the person you might wish to include. For example: the way their eyes are similar or how they laugh the same way. If the namesake is living, you could include their reactions to having a child named after them. More personal would be a little note written by that person, mounted on the page.

Write about what the names mean. Is there a history behind their use? What is the meaning of the name? Baby naming books and the internet will provide Biblical meanings as well as those that derive from different languages and cultures. Youre likely to find a variety of meanings, which adds a fresh point of interest to the journalling.

Some times parents like to spell childrens names with a flair for individuality. Other names may be available in several variants depending on the origin. For example: Alicia is of Old German origin and means noble while Alysia comes from Greek and means entrancing. Alesia is a further Greek variant, but meaning help/aid. The reasoning behind the variant selected could also be included on the page. You may also want to include an explanation or phonetic key as to how the name is pronounced. This is great for names that are unusual or which originate from different languages.

Alternative names mum and dad considered also make for a nice inclusion. If the babys sex was unknown prior to birth then this could also encompass names picked out for either gender. A note such as, If God gave us a boy your name would have been Samuel records a lovely detail which could well be forgotten in future years.

Providing a baby name page in the childs album helps complete the story that is the life of the infant. Remember all the love and care put into choosing the name and let that flow into a beautiful scrapbook page which your child will treasure through into their adulthood.
