HELLO I WAS INVOLVED INA MOTOR VEHEICLE IN 1995 . AND I HAD TO GET A ESPLORATION OF THE ABDOMEN FOR WHAT PROVED TO BE TWO PROBLEMS. THE 1ST WAS A PERFORATED ILEUM AND THE 2ND WAS A LARGE AREA OF MUSCLE CONTUSION SECONDARY TO PRESSURE AGAINST THE SEALBELT.
O WAS POSTOP COURSE WAS SOMEWHAT INVOLVED IN THAT THE ENIRE SEGMENT OF MUSCLE SLOUGHED WHERE THE SEATBELT HAD CAUSED CONTUSIONS OVER THE ANTERIOR ASPECT OF THE ABDOMINAL WALL . THAT AREA HAS TOTALLY CLOSED. I HAD SEVERAL SUTURE ABECESSES SINCE THAT TIME .
ON JAN OF 1996 THE 2 SUTURES WERE REMOVED FROM ABSCESS AREARS. IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT I WILL HAVE SIMILAR PROMBLEMS IN THE FUTURE UNTILL ALL OF THE FASCIAL SUTURES ARE REMOVED.
WILL I BE ABLE TO BECOME PREGNANT? PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT TRACY_LEE916***@****
Hi!
Its possible to have a natural delivery. It is only necessary to do a c-section if you have a scar on your uterus--not your abdominal wall. We don't usually recommend pregnancy until you have leveled out on the weight loss. Also, it will be very important to take your vitamins because there can be some absorption issues after this type of surgery.
The surgery is great for fertilty though--often after significant weight loss, the periods resume and women begin ovulating again.
Hope all goes well!
Good luck!
Dr B
