Your opinion is valued- pregnancy before surgery or surgery first?

Hello All! I have been through all the hoops, am approved and have had surgery on the books and cancelled a few times. My hubby and I want another child. Mine is 3 and I don't want the gap to get too far apart but at the same time I want to have surgery too. If I don't have surgery before the end of the year, I have to restart the entire 6 month process all over again. I am just besides myself with decision and don't know what to do. I am totally torn - have surgery first, wait at least a year and then try for baby or have baby first and then hope after I have the baby I can lose weight and or restart the entire process again. Any opinions, insight or suggestions for me?

I would do the surgery first. You will have a healthier pregnancy and it will be overall better for you and the baby. I have tried many times to get pregnant and due to my weight and other problems... It ended in miscarriages. It will be better for me to lose the weight first and hopefully use this weight loss surgery as a tool to lose over 100 pounds so that I can get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy with my first child. Just want the best for you too hun.
