Well I'm half way through the process, hoping to have surgery in may or June. The wife had RNY a year ago and is doing awesome really awesome. She had Pcos and we have tried for years to have a baby and now that she has had Rny and has lost a lot if weight, she is now pregnant :) which is awesome so excited!!! But wondering if I should post pone my surgery cause my surgery date should be in June and the kid due date is August. I just want to make sure I'm good to go and all healed up for when the kid comes. Think a month to a month and half is enough time in between ?

I agree. Go for it. That way when your baby is born, all three of you will be starting a new life together.

It's going to be a crazy couple months. Im sure I can get through it all. If I don't do it now, who knows when. Still have 5 months to get everything in order, right?

congrats on the comming baby. I had my surgery on sept 10 2012 and my 3rd daughter was born on oct 11 2012. I was nicely healed and ready to go. You should be fine.

I would go for it before the baby comes. You won't really have another opportunity for the next 18 years lol.

I'm with everyone else! You totally need to do it before. That way you've done the hardest of the healing portion. Cause when the baby comes its going to be a while before you and your wife will feel like you can take a couple weeks for you to be out of service. If you know what I mean.... I definitely say do it start your whole family off on the right foot ;)

A second thought is also, you being on a restricted diet as well might help influence her to stick to her healthy eating habits. Pregnancy, nursing and baby hormones I think can derail you if your not careful. It might be helpful to her.

I agree with everyone else, go for it. I think it will be good for all of you. I am so glad you wife has had such success and that your family is being blessed with a little one. Now get healthy Daddy so you can play and play and play with that little one. Wishing you the very best, to all of you.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
