Success W/post-Op Breastfeeding

I know some people have wondered, and I know I was wondering pre-surgery, so I'll put my input and experience out there. I am now 2 1/2 months post-op, 50 pounds lost, and successfully breastfeeding without issue. I don't know if I'm lucky, or if the womans body really is such a wonderful thing, but we've not had any set backs and it's been smooth sailing. That is all :]]

**I know this post only applies to a small number of ladies, but I was looking for a post like this pre-surgery!

just an update! my LO is 15 months, and due to unforseen health issues, my sleeve will be done in 2 weeks. I was able to have an at home sleep study (with her securely nestled in mamas arms!) and that relieved me IMMENSELY.

she is eating solids, drinking cows milk AND still breastfeeding multi times per day...so i am also feeling better about that. she will have daddy, milk and food to keep her calm while i'm away.

if all goes well I will be home within 36 hours after surgery, so not even 2 full days. please wish my luck on my journey and i will update!
