I don't know if this has been suggested, but isn't the procedure reversable? The inability to intake nutrients during pregnancy would certainly worry me. I am not a nutrition expert, but 400 KCLs a day doesn't sound safe for pregnancy. I have heard of people having the procedure reversed due to either inability to comply with the requirements of the diet, or due to serious gastric distress. I am surprised her doctors haven't suggested this yet.
