I'm 99% set on having VSG, but I have one major concern. My husband and I desperately want more children. We have a nine year old girl but my weight has caused me to have fertility issues. Having another child is extrememly important to me. It's so important that if I was told I wouldn't be able to try to have another child afterwards, I wouldn't do it.

I would love to hear from those who have (or know someone who has) had VSG and have had pregnancies after. I wanna know all of the ups, downs and in-betweens of pregnancy after VSG. If you know of risks associated with this I would love to hear those, too.

Thanks in advance

There are almost no risks to pregnancy after VSG compared to pregnancy after bypass or band- its one of the very many reasons I decided on VSG- because I know I'm not done breeding yet. Just be sure to follow your surgeons guidelines and find an OB who has experience with WLS patients, wait the full 12-18 months and chances are high that you will have a perfect, normal, uncomplicated pregnancy.

Thank you, that is a huge sigh of relief!

oh im so glad you asked this i havent had children of my own yet and this was a major concern of mine!
