i have a question if a person has the bypass or staples etc ...can they still become pregant and has a healthy baby ...I know with the band you can

Julie,

Yes, bypass patients can become pregnant. Many do and surprise themselves. The health issues are nourishment for the fetus (which depends on the level of malabsorption going on), and then, for the patient, the bypass is a much more invasive procedure, so there should be plenty of down time between the surgery and the blessed event, to allow complete healing to happen.
