I JUST WANT TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN GIVE ME INSIGHT ON HOW THEIR EXPERIENCE WAS BEING PG WITHIN ONE YEAR POST OP... THANX IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ANSWERS...
PREGNANCY AFTER WLS (WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY) within one year post op by accident or planned...?
In April, i just had my 1 yr out of WLS. My husbnad and i started trying in April to get PG (Dr. okayed this) and we conceived in May!





My dr. gave the the okay at 1 year. I am almost to goal weight so he didnt see a problem. I am already down 173lbs!





i'll let you know how the PG goes...
Reply:I don't know what the chances of you finding someone who had similar situation are, but in my opinion I would go with what the doctor that did the surgery said, at least 16 months. Some people get pregnant their first month trying and I think after only three months after a weight loss surgery that that would set you back a lot with having cravings and eating more for two. You have to make sure you steady first. Good luck
Reply:Personally, I don't believe in weight loss surgery but if you want a child, I would strongly suggest wating at least 1-2 years after this surgery as your body is goign from big to little and tne going to be stretching out agian. It's not going to know what to do!
