    Thanks for your replies. My hope is to get pregnant after surgery. I'm 43 and no children, married 9 years.

I know a couple of women who got sleeved and then got pregnant right away, but I'm not sure how old they are. We keep toying with the idea. But I'm 43 now and our youngest is 2 and I'm so much more tired now than I was with our oldest, who is 11. I have an appt with my obeys to discuss more long term bc because the part of me that wants another baby is a little bit crazy!

I am only 2 months out and I just found out I'm pregnant at 40 after having unprotected sex only once! Definitely a surprise but a welcomed surprise. My last child is 9 and was conceived with fertility meds. We tried for a fourth child about five years ago but never got pregnant.

I'm 39 right now, and hoping to convince my husband to have one more kid once my weight stabilizes. Which would mean I'd deliver around age 40. Not sure I can sell him on it, but hoping to!

I'm 42, almost 3 years out and pregnant with our first. If you get yourself healthy, it can happen.

My mother was not a bariatric patient, but she became pregnant with my youngest brother when she was 44. For the first five months she thought she was going through the change. Then the change started to kick!

Forgot to update! I got pregnant on the first cycle we tried, and am now 8 weeks pregnant! (well, 8 weeks tomorrow, lol). I got pregnant exactly 1 year from surgery, and two months after my 40th birthday.
