I am going through the process of being approved VSG. However one of my concerns was the length of time I would have to wait until I could try for a baby. My doctor has told me two years but I've seen some of you mention a one year wait. Is anyone actively trying or succeeded? What did your doctor tell you? Just any advice would be helpful.

I had my last doctors appt on Tuesday, and all of my information was submitted to insurance on Thursday so i'm in my two week wait. I'm excited and scared all at the same time and I'm finding myself obsessing over the outcome. I will be documenting my journey on YouTube, my channel name is lylymarey.
What did some of you do to get through the wait?
Are there any blogs, or youtubbers you watch that have encouraged you to get through this?

Legalady I will be sleeved 2mrw to...good luck!!! We will be fine!!! We are about to start our new beginning!!! I ck in @ 12pm, I wish it were 730 for me.... Congrats!!

I was told at least one year. It does happen sooner for some people, but the longer you wait, the better. It took me seventeen months to reach my goal, and by the time we started TTC I was maintaining quite well.
Two big things happened in that time post-goal that I think are important when it comes to TTC. One, I finally got the point where I was eating enough calories in food alone to sustain a pregnancy. And two, my body was just healthier - good hair, good nails, no more hair loss, no more fatigue...I was totally adjusted and felt very good, not just thinner.
I'd wait as long as possible, because it's VERY hard in the first nine months or so post sleeve to get enough nutrition for a lot of us. It took real dedication and planning on my part to eat enough. I still have to track occasionally to make sure I'm on track.
Once we were ready I had no trouble getting pregnant, even with the lower success rates of a frozen embryo transfer. So unless you have reason to believe your fertility will be affected by waiting, my advice is to lose as much weight as possible, maintain that loss, and get yourself into a good place nutritionally before trying.
Good luck with both! I love my sleeve and I know being smaller and healthier this time around is going to make my pregnancy better for both me and baby.

I have to admit I love myself, just the way I am because I'm a beautiful woman, but I agree I'm uncomfortable. I'm at my heaviest and I'm only 27. I've always been thicker and being from the south, thick supersedes skinny any day. I'm tired of being a slave to my weight, I'm ready to be free from health issues, "the plus size section" at stores, and restricting my overall character for fear of being the big girl that shouldn't wear that, eat that, or move like that.
