Hello all! I am 7 months post-op and thinking of having a baby. I wanted to know if anyone had any complications? If you continued to loose weight after? and if the baby had any complications? I am also concerned because my doctor told me to wait 2 years but everywhere I am reading it says one year. Also I am not done loosing weight...so I am not sure it is the right time...I just really want kids...any thoughts on my situation please post feedback thankx!
