  1. Surgery after c-section/breastfeeding.

    Motherof2in2013 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I have been planning on getting the lap-band for a couple of years. I was in pre-op when they told me to go home I was pregnant. That was in July of 2012. I had a c-section March of 2012. Waited to heal, savings was drained so had to start over again. I started a weight loss plan about 4 months ago, lost weight and bam I got pregnant again. My baby is due in December, and I'm hoping to have the surgery in January 2014. My first question is how soon after a c-section(I'll be having another one) can I get the surgery and question two is, can I have the surgery while i'm breastfeeding? Thanks in advance!
